I showed this to my mom, and her reply was “but that socialism!” And promptly hung up on me.

Some people are so stupid and stubborn that they would rather be bilked by conmen than to actually get the care they need, affordably.

That’s kind of bullshit we’re dealing with.

It’s not. She just thinks it is because she’s been told it’s a dirty word.
