The thing that never stops astonishing me about shitweasels like this is that they are blatantly anti-poorz -- and really, many of them are almost race-neutral* about it -- and yet many of the people who vote for them are poorz. Obviously, I do not understand the detailed thought processes of those voters, but it sure looks like there's a good chunk of folks who fundamentally aspire to be peasants.

*Or, more precisely, their desire to fuck over the minority poor is sufficiently great that they are willing to accept collateral damage among the white poor.

I was going to ask, "Then what?" - but it's entirely possible that they haven't thought it through beyond that point.

Much as I hate to admit that Deal has ever said anything right, he IS right about one thing: the ER is often the first stop for poor sick people. That's because when you make healthcare a luxury only the rich can afford, people who dare to be poor but also get sick often NEED an emergency room, having by necessity ignored symptoms until they have long since passed "dire".
