Is he suggesting that the US is going to fund free cooking classes that are low in fat and sugar? Because that's a great idea.

And they should also provide free insulin.

Maybe we can compromise and say that you have to attend 4 hours of free cooking classes every month to receive your free insulin for the month?

They're not going to fund anything. Nothing is free.

It's a great idea, and they'll just talk about it while killing the presently funded programs, then do nothing.

Means Testing your Insulin by telling you to spend hours in your car, away from your family, attending state-mandated privately administered lectures put on by the lowest bidder.

Oh no, you're thinking of a government that actually wants what's best for the people living there.

Yes. All the food should be free too, of course
