This beautiful child is why TrumpCare is a murderous, life-sucking abomination.




"A lifetime cap on benefits is the same as saying, "Sorry, you're not worth keeping alive anymore. You're just too expensive." -@aliranger29

"Tell that to the boy who just tucked a sick firefly into bed with a leaf blanket and told me to keep the light on so he wouldn't be scared." -@aliranger29








The whole thread. The photos. If you can read this and support TrumpCare, your heart is in worse shape than little Ethan's.

Trumpcare is nothing short of murder.

Those bastards in favor of it need to be stopped.

It's all about tax cuts. They call this a health care bill. It's a tax bill, and the people behind the scenes who are responsible are the Koch bro's, who want it to be even more Draconian than it presently is.

Please note: Pence recently made a call to his lords and masters, the infamous Koch brothers, who are, I believe the 2nd largest privately owned company in the U.S.

The Koch brothers' political arm has even more employees than the republican party.

Do not buy products made by the Koch brothers. Here are some products they make that a consumer might easily be exposed to. Don't buy them!

p.s. on edit: snip Pence and Koch and their top aides spoke for nearly an hour late Friday, according to a Koch spokesman. They discussed tax reform, the GOP’s healthcare overhaul and other heavy legislative lifts that have run into resistance in the Republican-controlled Congress. The aide described the talks as casual.snip

This needs to be repeated and used.
They have no moral right to call themselves the pro life party.
We need to take over the narative.
They will kill people.
Children, babies, adults and seniors.
They own the name now.
And they are doing it for money. Never forget that.

They still shock me, but there are no more surprises after Newtown.

He's a beautiful child that deserves all the care modern medicine can provide. He deserves to live a long, healthy, and happy life.

WithOUT bankrupting his family.

"No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means."

Trump care moves America further away from the path of civilization. It is a wealth care bill not a health care bill.

But greedy conservatives seem to forget that--or the fact that they too will all age and will someday need care--when they're pissing on us and saying it's just raining.
