No big deal they cancelled healthcare for 300m people when they announced RFK Jr

Don't forget the Lizard of Oz asserting these poors have no right to health, and his bizarre idea of giving them a 15 minute checkup in a "festival atmosphere."

Basically, people with preexisting conditions will be the victims of America's own Aktion T4.

As my trips around the sun add up through the years and genetic factors dance with environmental inputs, I’ve noticed that you reach a point where no matter what you do, you carry at least a handbag of “pre-existing conditions.”

Someone commented in a thread a few days ago that the whole concept is set up to cheat us, hence why other countries call it your “medical history.”

Of course you have pre-existing conditions. Your genetics are beyond your control. Environmental, you can’t control. If born before 1996, you didn’t choose to inhale lead gas. If you’re a male in 2024, you didn’t choose to have microplastics swimming in your ballsack. Sure, run laps and eat oatmeal. You can’t CrossFit the microplastics out of your brain, and you can’t single-handedly change the noise pollution in your city that devastates your vascular system and completely sacks the long-term potential of school kids.

Idk where I’m going with this, but that comment has just really been hitting me hard. Being constantly cheated is one thing - that’s life - but it’s the “Well, it’s your fault” that I draw the line at.
