Diseases quietly watching Trumpcare progression

Republicans weren't the only ones celebrating their vote on the ACA, various pathogens and other conditions met at the Smallpox and Rinderpest Memorial Garden to also celebrate and plan for the future as well.

"It's nice to not feel hated against simply because I can be used as a pre-existing condition, so allowing states to opt out of the whole thing makes me feel like I'm not that much of a bad guy" is what Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia had to say about the issue.

Still, others had a concern, this was perhaps best said by Measles, who said "It's great and all that we now have a president who questions vaccines and we all know they don't work. They don't. Don't use them. And it's also great their religious right allies are always saying people who get sick deserve us for some reason. But I'm almost expecting them to come and ask me for a donation for their campaign funds or something for all the work they do for us. I don't actually have any money. They know that, right?"
