<Hey, what's a 1000% (and then some) error when your intentions are good (meaning, your side keeps getting reelected)?

Of course their side keeps getting reelected. They've neatly arranged it so that the elderly would have no medical care without them.

When I was a kid, there was no Medicare, and somehow every elderly person I knew managed to get medical care at reasonable prices, and somehow the gutters weren't full of dead and dying pensioners. Somehow, the newspapers were not full of stories about how millions of elderly were perishing for lack of doctors. I think we were had, but there's not much we can do about it now. All the infrastructure that used to support elderly medical care, like private insurance, is dead now.
