    This is being published in FOX and NY Post, the antechamber to the right wing echosphere. Does this mean the right wing is turning against the healthcare industry?

    Not saying the industry isn’t evil, but it’s also keeping a lot of people alive.

      Even if they are, they aren’t going to fix it in the way you want. They’ll convince people it needs to be more privatized, that if they spent more money they would get better care.

        That’s my point, if they are turning against it, it’s just to destroy another “drain on the system”.

      No, the right isn’t posting her anti capitalist letter about how she was abused by her employer through overwork and lack of support for the nurses.

      Right wing news is covering this because they know their audience doesn’t dig into stories. They cover outrage and the things that make people mad with the understanding that the right wing media doesn’t want follow up actions or questions. Just anger.

      If you’re mad, you’re probably watching right wing media. If you’re sad, that’s the left.

      Righties don’t like being sad because they lack the emotional fluency to deal with sadness. Can’t punch a loved one because we’re sad. Anger though, is depression with energy and will fuel people to action. Most don’t know what do to so they turn back to the media that angered them to know what to do, which is how we got Jan 6.

        We already have actual death panels.

        What exactly do you think happens when Meemaw gets denied by her insurance company to get her cancer removed?
