Ah yes, but the “health care” that killed her was “free.” You can’t get a better deal than that.

From now on, we will have to call someone who dies of “rationed care” being “Berwicked”.

“Her husband Dean, 29...”

Maybe things aren’t quite as bad as I thought...they still allow the word “husband”, for now, without an immediate jail sentence.

Not too many years ago, only convicts used that term, then ex-cons used it out of "old habit".
