I'm sick and scared. It's hard to sleep. This headline took my breath away. Maybe not the best time to joke, I think.

A little bit of humor is a welcome relief from the loads of insurance bullshit and total lack of compassion from the powers that be that I deal with every single day. Try looking in the face of a patient and telling them you can't treat their cancer because they have no insurance...try arguing with insurance companies every damn day to get authorization for a procedure that a patient needs and could be the difference between them working and not, or worse still them living or not. I don't know your personal situation, and I don't claim to but judging someone off of a post on a message board is asinine.
So yeah, I got a kick out of a sarcastic post...that's not the worst thing in the world, just look around! A little humor goes a long way!

But I also have a lot of friends and acquaintances who won't see out the year if this monstrosity passes. Their mortality is still a little more dear to me than a "gotcha" like this one. I suppose the day may come when I can have a hearty belly laugh at their premature demise, but today isn't that day.

They'll be fitting him for the hangman's noose for treason and he'll still be shouting out that it's Hillary's fault or the media's fault.
