Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

      That would not be democratic. It would be the exact same thing the GOP wants to do. Left branded totalitarianism would still be totalitarianism.

        Between left-branded totalitarianism and GOP I choose left-branded totalitarianism. An eye for an eye.
