So, let me get this straight...- a man who, due to personal wealth that he never worked a day to earn, was able to go to the best doctors in the world to treat his terminal cancer, the type of care that would never be covered by a government run health care plan, dies...
- and THAT is the reason to shove through a piece of legislation that wouldn’t provide the same care to people who work for a living, and would probably deny treatment due to the terminal nature of said cancer, under which the very Members of Congress would not apply.
