Why are Repubs still complaining about ACA or SS fraud to oppose healthcare?

What the hell was DOGE doing? Didn't they pinpoint all the fraud and ID fraudsters and create some sort of tracking system?

Baha ha. ha. bitter laugh.

The Gropers would rather 100 people die for lack of access to health care, than a single person get something they don't "deserve."

DOGE was never about saving taxpayer dollars.

A) The oiligarchs and techbros barely pay anything in taxes. You didn't think that they cared about your taxes, did you?

B) The massive amount of data collection; secure, verified, personal data was a gold mine.

C) Hobbling government, whenever government isn't actively aiding its owners, the oiligarchs, is a major goal.

D) Showing the people of the US who is really in charge, and that we can't count on government to even keep do something as basic and important as keeping our data safe is a major goal.

E) THE CHAOS IS THE POINT.

Or rather… no plan is their plan. Republicans believe if you can’t afford your own platinum concierge healthcare, then that’s your fault and you deserve to get sick and die.
