By that, I think he is trying to suggest that only minorities will die. But everyone dies when there is no ER within an hour. And w/o Medicaid, rural ERs will close.

Lots of poor Southerners have fallen for the line that "Obamacare is for minorities". They should look north to Kentucky and West Virginia which took the Medicaid money.

So their elected leaders can make a point over their constituents' graves.

has MERSA (acquired through the hospital that removed her cancer...unprovable) and Lupus that we are aware of.
Her health clinic Dr., (she is unemployable) suggested that she move to KY. and said that with her health, she would have no problem getting on medicaid. We live on the TN/KY border. She is considering it seriously. Few options left with "our" governor refusing to expand medicare. The movie about dying empires is so lucid, too bad that most average people do not have the attention span to watch or comprehend it.
Just like TPTB planned it.
