You remember when republicans were talking about death tribunals set up by democrats via the healthcare system? Projections all the way. They do not even give you healthcare to implement a death tribunal. The republican way of cruelty.
Death Panels! Obummer will literally kill you!
Don’t let healthcare be run by the gubmint! — Only the corporate have your best interests at heart!
Yeah I member that. I ‘member
large /s just in case
My only hesitation with Medicare for all is that these fucks exist.
Everyone deserves that at the very least. Everyone. If one is oppressed; none is free, and all that.
Agreed. Medicare for all is necessary and the minimum.
Doesn’t mean I’m not eying them and wondering what they’re gonna try to do to it. (I mean, look at what they do to every other program- snap, education, etc)
Regressives give nothing and take away everything
Time to post this:
It's amazing how patriotism blinds people. Many Americans honestly think they have an OK system, despite expat family members explaining clearly how bad the US health care system is.
I understand not believing some politician speaking on TV, but the denial is far stronger than that.
They just forgot to mention they'd be running the tribunals. Could happen to anyone!
You gotta be dumber than dogshit to vote R.
Dumb or evil. No in-between there.
I firmly believe that conservatism in its current form is a mental illness - if you've seen someone move to the political right, you've almost certainly witnessed the cognitive decline (not to mention increase in paranoia, disgust, irritability, impatience and general irrationality) for yourself.
Small government something something
Small [nonexistent] government for me…
…something something thee.
Conservatives cheer this horror and mock those who are horrified.
Because women aren't humans to them. They're property. They're toys. Toys can be discarded when you're done playing with them. So it's fine if women die to them.

It's not even that...it's:
I'm glad they're using terminology like this. The "but both sides" watered down bullshit needs to end.
Red States want to kill women.
Will they really? They might just refuse to vote again to allow a lower courts say stick and not have to take the blame for ignoring womens rights to life
This is the best summary I could come up with:
To the Supreme Court, Idaho has argued that states — not doctors, and not the federal government — should be permitted to decide what kind of emergency medical care women can receive.
As one doctor in the hospital chain to which Glick was repeatedly admitted told the magazine, “It’s very frustrating to have your hands tied because the patient who you need to save is not the one that’s protected by law.”
He cites as examples three recent patients he’s treated for pregnancy-related emergencies — cases he says he and his colleagues encounter “approximately a dozen times per year.”
The first patient was a 22-year-old who was 18 weeks pregnant and arrived at his hospital with a fever, tender uterus, and an elevated heart rate; an ultrasound revealed her water had broken many days earlier.
Cooper described three patients she treated between September 2021 and June 2022, when the Supreme Court delivered its decision overruling Roe v. Wade, eliminating the federal protection for abortion rights.
In another instance, Cooper recalled treating an expectant mother, 20 weeks pregnant, who arrived with acute “right upper abdominal pain” — a telltale symptom of preeclampsia.
