All problems with our healthcare should be laid at the feet of every single rethug in politics. And, if we lose a portion of our healthcare professionals, then that is the fault of the percentage of asshats in our society that think they are better than everyone else solely because of their financial worth/societal position. (Now, which party seems to collect smug, rich, bigots by the droves, hmm?) If we suffer a shortage of healthcare professionals, then any person seeking aid should FIRST have to flash a vaccination card to even have someone get near them. And, if the person does not have one, then they are S.O.L.. (Shit Outta Luck). As far as I am concerned, every injustice and bias that the rethug party has visited on this country needs to have it tossed right back at them. If you think you have seen a snowflake before, wait till something like this happens!
