before there was the ACA, were you stepping over the bodies of dead Americans who died for lack of insurance?

Without Medicaid, you can go to any Catholic hospital and get treated for absolutely free (those scumbag Catholics!), you can also go to the ER. Both of those places will give you care better than most places on your list. You wanted to get treated in Italy or Spain? Good luck. And how many illegal Mexican immigrants qualify for that healthcare in Italy and Spain?

Pete, does Trump get two asterisks if he gets re-elected?

Or do you just drink a tall glass of hemlock on election night?

Maybe you won’t need to post 50 x a day like an obsessed person.
I’d bet you’re over 40 today.
I’ll live and speak out.
Will you go to 200 posts per day when the Deathstar explodes?

Straightforward from here:
* President Trump has to self-quarantine due to possible exposure to coronavirus, can’t fulfill duties of presidency in quarantine, steps down.
* VP Pence has to self-quarantine, can’t fulfill duties of vice presidency, steps down.
* President Pelosi.

Washington Post

Opinions
Andrew Cuomo gets it right: Govern by science, not your gut


saw this article referenced this morning, first response was someone from South Carolina lauding Cuomo and wishing their state had been managed better because apparently South Carolina has been horribly mismanaged during the days of corona

New York has 27 thousand deaths
South Carolina has 331


can't imagine wishing for that kind of managment....

Gov Cuomo is forcing nursing homes in his state (nursing homes!) to accept residents who have tested positive for covid-19. Nursing homes, by state law, were not allowed to refuse admittance to residents who tested positive for covid-19. That is probably the single stupidest public policy decision made my any elected official during this pandemic, and it's irrefutable that it cost lives. And the entire media is ignoring it.

Oddly enough Baby Donnie Bonespurs has yet to ever say he has made a mistake.

"When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."

In case you missed it we are now at around EIGHTY TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE DEAD and Trump* downplayed it for months

Cuomo Reverses Nursing Home Directive to Take COVID-19 Patients, Requires More Staff Testing

Don’t understand Trump’s passivity. S Korea’s presidential approval spiked to 71% bc of corona, & he crushed the opposition in last mo’s election. If Trump would only try, this wouldn’t be a political disaster for him. His presidency & reputation are on the line & he still won’t act? Is he THAT lazy?
Lazy bastard
