    Folks who voted for him will find some way to rationalize this, just as they have everything else he’s done.

    What they want is now dead millionaires and billionaire is what I’m hearing with this greedy shit.

    Edit: cause I’m not clear enough. :(

        No, they’re on a plane to Tijuana where the good surgical spas and cheap meds are.

        A good friend went there for a gastro-intestinal repair that was deemed non-critical by her domestic provider.

        The reps meet you at the airport and take you to their spa which has armed guards. You’re in surgery and the recuperate for 7 days onsite or more. Then you fly home.

        In all, it costs way, way, way less, even with airfare, than a local doc. And it’s well-regarded.

        Speaking from personal experience, you might be surprised at just how far up the economic ladder medicare goes. Not billionaires, but certainly millionaires. Why spend money on dumb doctors when YOUR’RE obviously healthy as an ox. YOU’RE never going to get sick. YOU are a demi-god in their prime. It’s like when people complain about COBRA being it expensive. It was always that expensive, you’re just paying it now. There are a lot of people with multiple homes financial advisors’ include medicare as part of that planning.

    I’ll lay odds it boiled down to this:

    “Cell and gene therapy access model: Designed to improve access to high-cost therapies for Medicaid recipients, this model aimed to negotiate pricing and facilitate coverage.”

    Something, something, aborted fetus stem cells, planned parenthood bad, something, something.

      If it was really about one thing, couldn’t he just rescind that part?

      I don’t think he cares enough to try and hide a true motive by doing more than 1 to include the 1
