As elders who support Bernie Sanders, we urge todays youth to rage against the machine, while our opposition tells them they must become cogs. Guess who they respect and listen to?

Ryan's plan suggests that insurance companies should only have to cover people who are not sick. Guess that would help with profit margins or something.

DeadpoolDEADPOOL: Paul Ryan essentially tells cancer patients to Die Quickly
The rule, a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, has been praised by patient advocates for providing access to medical care for people who previously could not afford private health insurance. The Affordable Care Act also bars insurers from excluding coverage for pre-existing conditions.
The magic solution to the problem, according to Ryan and the GOP, is "high risk pools", which simply means separating out the sickest, most expensive people in the country and dumping them into a separate program.
Ryan wants to end Obamacare cost protections for sick consumers
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan called on Wednesday for an end to Obamacare's financial protections for people with serious medical conditions, saying these consumers should beplaced in state high-risk pools.
In election-year remarks that could shed light on an expected Republican healthcare alternative, Ryan said existing federal policy that prevents insurers from charging sick people higher rates for health coverage has raised costs for healthy consumers while undermining choice and competition.

Why are we seeing polling places closed as "cost saving measures"? If we can't afford ...
... to educate our children, to heal our sick, to care for our elderly or fair elections, then just what the fuck is it the defense budget is defending???

I would hope we can agree that both sides have overzealous supporters who do nasty shit ...
... that is not authorized by their candidate.
But as far as I've been able to determine, only one campaign is paying people to do dirty shit.
