The GOP Health Care Plan Is A GENOCIDAL Plan And Here Is Why.

Now think through everything the GOP says it wants to do. Think about the way they want to structure health care or anything else they want to do. Take their proposals to the final result of what would happen. And look at who their plans benefit and why. Look at their motives for doing things.

Once you have thought about what they say and what they plan their ideas are really GENOCIDAL. The real and brutal truth is that the GOP fundamentally believes that only the most valuable and productive people in a society should have a decent life. Once you are no longer a value and need help then the idea is that you must be abandoned because you ARE NO LONGER A CONTRIBUTOR. So the imperfect must die or be let go. They have to make it on their own because they DO NOT DESERVE support or help. They are takers and no longer makers.

Add to that idea to the idea that you need to be responsible for your failure. So if you get sick, get old, cannot perform to a standard, et al you did it to yourself. You were negligent because you got cancer or was born handicapped or were born of a different color. you created you own inadequacy.

If you look at incomes and how their plan is structured most of the country would be NOT insured or extremely under insured.

Now I lost my left foot to staff nearly 3 years ago. The bill was over $250,000. I had a very bad case of staph sepsis. And I was in wheel chair for 9 months. I was 85% disabled at one time. I had 4 surgeries and 60 days of antibiotics and 90 days on a wound pack on my right leg. My wife had hip replacement the next year. And she now has defective heart valve that will need to be replaced eventually. We had insurance and Medicare.

There is no plan the GOP could come up with that would help us with the way they want to do it. 70-75% of the country would not have enough insurance to cover even basic needs under their plan. And most of the population has pre existing conditions by the time they are probably 40 years old.

With the GOP high risk pools you would have to exhaust you assets before you could apply based on some recent info.

They want to significantly decrease the world's population
so there are more resources and riches for themselves.
True to their form, they will begin with the brown people.
Sooner or later, Jews and liberals. This is the shit
they've fomenting for years - and I believe they
see this moment now as their time to act on it.

You keep thinking, "They can't REALLY be that cruel" ... only to find that they ARE.

The problem I am struggling with personally is, at what point do I look at my smiling, friendly otherwise normal-seeming neighbor, who is a 45 supporter, and decide ...

YOU are MY enemy?

THIS below is starting to be my feeling, too (thanks for the historical context):

You are correct, why we put up with this in the past is a mystery but now we have a change we have to get awareness up or another decade or more of suffering.

somebody at one of these angry town halls would stand up and loudly ask the congressional asshole why the Republican government doesn't just start shooting people as it would save them a lot of time and energy having to dream up phony excuses and lies about their plans for repealing Obamacare.
