Is the Government Choosing Who Lives and Dies Based on Cost? Here?s Chloe?s Story?



Instead of giving money to all these illegals. Why not give it to our OWN citizens...

I agree.

Build infrastructure
Fund science and education
and give it to our people.

Can't have the government paying for it because it's not the responsibility of the hardworking taxpayer to fund handouts to the poor!

This story is a happy one, in Conservatopia.

You certainly understand their mind-set. It seems to be, to hell with you and hurray for me; until they need someones understanding and concern.

If it keeps her from being hospitalized often, it makes sense to give her the medicine.
