Completely Orwellian per how they sell this stuff to the public. But completely about "forget govt. - do you best on your own" per 1870.

You get sick, you die. "what ever." But at least the govt. didn't force insurance companies and health care providers to find a way to provide services for citizens.

It is indeed ironic, imo, that there is a push from the reactionary right for survival for the fittest policies while there is also a push to curb contraceptives (get people into the great competition of the survival of the fittest - and the demise of those not as fit).
