How Republicans Plan to RATION Health Care

[PsychoBabble]

It looks as if Republicans want to bring back health care rationing.

In 2010, Mark Price, a 37-year-old resident of Goodyear, Ariz., was struggling to pay the bills for his leukemia treatment. His house was under foreclosure. He had insurance through Medicaid, and yet he died after the state said it would not pay for a potentially lifesaving bone marrow transplant.

Facing a $2.6 billion budget deficit, Gov. Jan Brewer and Arizona Republicans had opted to ration care, eliminating state payments for bone marrow, liver, heart, lung and other transplants ...

2. I know there are certain words I can't use.

Not asking to make an exception, just want every body think the worst possible things they can think of to describe Jan Brewer and these Go Pee Pees. Overtime I hear (or read) what these "people" want to do to their fellow man.

I'm not sure how we, those of us with a conscious, stop from sobbing every day.
