Who cares how long you have to wait, so long as it's FREE! (Well, some will die during the wait... and large numbers will suffer for extended times.. but no biggie.... compared to, you know, the benefit of ... FREE!)

Though vehemently denied (just like Odumbo's promise, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it and your doctor"... we now know that was ONE BIG FAT LIE)... Odumbocare includes DEATH PANELS... no biggie, I guess, until it's your parents.. or you.

WHEN THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP?? HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS SHIT ARE WE GOING TO PASSIVELY TAKE UP THE ASS??
