My co-workers greatest need was health care

My co-worker exercised his 2nd Amendment rights by having several weapons, is prepared for doomsday but what he needed most is healthcare and a decent paying job. His republican party protected his "rights" but fought against his greatest needs. He has just been diagnose with cancer(s) and probably won't be here long.

to find a treatment for him since he did not have insurance and was working a minimum wage job and could not afford care on his own. I think he waited a long time before going to find his problem. Health care is important, I hope we can get insurance for everyone.
