Remember Scalise Voted To Deny Health For Millions He Is Receiving.

Last edited Tue Jun 20, 2017, 12:27 AM - Edit history (1)

The cost of the hospital bill to save Scalise will be in the hundreds of thousands. Yet he voted to take away health care from 24 million Americans. And he would vote to end Medicare given the chance. So it is hard to have any sympathy for this guy who is really nothing but a racist and bigot supported supposedly by the KKK.

He will receive the best of care denied others whose lives will be on the line.

Nevertheless, we are Democrats.

And we believe in taking care of everyone, even those who would hurt us.

We are more compassionate than that.

that it is against the law to turn away anyone, regardless of ability to pay?

Anyone who shows up at a hospital with such a wound would get the care Scalise is getting. Such hyperbole only makes you look foolish.

Go to the ER and try to cure your Cancer. All they will do is send you to a specialist (That you don't have the money for).

Getting real tired of being punched in the gut by right wing assholes like Scalise only to be told to "play nice" by our side.

I'm not going to be kind, compassionate or considerate to a jackoff who is trying his damnedest to strip me, my partner and my son of our healthcare.
