It's fucking repulsive to force people who can't work to be ineligible for healthcare and there's a large segment of people who can't qualify for Medicare coverage that are physically or mentally unable to work without support or at all.

Wow this is fucking ghoulish. I've got a disabled friend who can barely walk or type from the pain in their body. Wtf are they supposed to do? Die?
Yes, that's exactly what conservatives want your friend to do. They can't contribute meaningfully to the economy, so in the eyes of conservatives, their life has no value.
Thank goodness he doesn't live in Georgia, but I feel so sorry for the people over there in a similar situation =(

Absolutely despicable. How do these people sleep at night?
On a huge pile of money.
