0DeathCare is nothing more than a means of lining the pockets of Dims, Lobbyists and (likely) RINO's and gaining control of the masses via making decisions on who gets what treatment. Period.
And WHO gives him this money to spend? A Republican held house...that can defund the enforcement of incandescent lightbulbs (but not have enough guts to repeal the damned thing). So They do have the power to DEFUND but they don’t do it. Who is the problem, the kid that gets drunk or the parent who gives him the alcohol?
