There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

People don’t GET OVER illnesses, the need for medical care or the closure of rural clinics and hospitals.
The wealthy should GET OVER their obsession with money.
Just a reminder going forward...
