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.

        You could send them to northst Louis. It’s heavily irradiated from all the uranium refinement that Mallinkrodt did for the government in the 40s. They just poured it out in a big hole that they then turned into a garbage heap and set on fire.

        Its conveniently where all the poor people live.

      I wouldn’t bother. If it’s legitimate cancer, the body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

      Yes, you can put it in the capitol building. They’ve exempted themselves from OSHA regs…
