1. A pox on him and his family!

But only if the cost of treatment (or prevention) is beyond their reach!

2. Kick

3. Now history books can refer to this as the Orange Plague.

[Initech]

4. No, we do *NOT* need the private sector controlling this drug.

And have another situation like that pharma douche Martin Shkreli on our hands? Yeah no, bad idea.

5. He's a piece of work eh? eom

6. I hope that this is thrown back into the faces of these scumbags when rump is feebly attempting...

to rerun for the office of the presidency. This is exactly what the republicans advocate, in one's regular health plans, get sick and then die. That one representative that proclaimed this in Congress during some hearings on health care issues still stands out in my mind as a hero. He nailed exactly what these thugs are only interested in, profits before all.

Rump just proved too what matters to him too. Not American lives, not Americans suffering from the coronavirus in the hospitals, not Americans trapped on cruise liners, but that the stock markets have collapsed, and that his billionaire/millionaire buddies lost money (of which I wouldn't be surprised if he got some money under the table too, while president).

I bet today that rump is really popping his gourd today, being that his 'speech' last night didn't do one whit about nothing/or calming things down. Events has finally took control and rump has lost the ball. No one is listening to rump's lies and distortions, and things are way out the scope of his feeble attempts to control and now it is up to regular people on the streets to deal with (do you remember us, rump? we are still out here).

7. Hello? Medicare for All anybody? n/t

[IronLionZion]

8. Now might be a great time for a little socialism

Many countries decided universal health care was the way to deal with mass casualties caused by a murderous asshole after WW2.

9. AKA: Eat shit and die health care program

10. Oh mighty king and nobles, you will be safe from the Black Plague if you close the borders...

...and lock yourselves in your impregnable castles.

Riiiiight. The plague rats and their fleas will still creep in....

[Beartracks]

16. A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome!

12. We need to all understand that ...

to the GOP (Greedy One Percent)
Money matters more than lives.

That should be a bumper sticker.
GOP=Money Matters More Than Lives!!!

13. Coronavirus too expensive?

Coronavirus too expensive?

[PatrickforO]

14. Profits over people all the way!

This is exactly why I say that the profit motive has no place in healthcare. None.

[Beartracks]

15. You're the Federal government. Have the government do the investing.

You're telling me that PRIVATE companies don't benefit when the government invests billions of dollars in a PUBLIC policy like, say, military defense?

It's all about priorities, and the health of Americans is not a Republican priority.

19. When the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines came out in the 1950s

The government gave them to everyone for free.

[packman]

21. And Salk basically gave the vaccine discovery rights away

A man of science and compassion. I remember those times when polio was a disease everyone feared and how people lined up for their vaccine shots and sugar cubes that had the vaccine infused in them.
