Trump found someone even worse than Tom Price to regulate Health and Human Services: an insulin profiteer

It’s called the Canadian border. I am quite happy to be on this side of it too. :slight_smile:

I’m glad to live in Finland, where insulin and similar vital medicines are free of charge. Anything else is, in this day and age, nothing but callous barbarism.

From what I understand, the secret is to keep your customer base coming back for more; treat the symptoms, not the cause.

Thanks for the link to the trailer. That’s looks right up my celluloid alley; Dwayne Johnson, Albino-Kong, explosions!

Yeah but, a movie based the the arcade game Rampage? They’ve done Battleship, is Pong next?

I’m sure that Trump would have been more than happy to appoint Harold Shipman or John Bodkin Adams to the job, if they were still alive.

“Bodkin”

Just drive to Canada. Healthcare spending is way lower there and yet health outcomes are better. Because they do it via tax and then everybody is covered.

Also perfect for top jobs in law enforcement!

“Odds” Bodkin?

Goody goody gumdrops for you.

Given that the border is not immune to any potential chemical, biological or nuclear fallout, I’m gonna have to say that just ain’t good enough.

True, it’s still uncomfortably close but things seem a little more real up here anyway. The U.S. is getting a little more “Alice in Wonderland”-ish every day.
