The Rules
Posts must be:

Please also avoid duplicates.

And the rich part is that if they wanted to go down the route of "healthcare is expensive because America is overall unhealthy" that's "fine". As the folks in charge do something about it?
Invest in better education on the importance of proper diet and exercise. Invest in providing cheaper and more readily available whole foods. Subsidized or provide classes that teach people how to actually cook. Do the things that would actually help "make America healthy again" instead of worrying about fucking food dyes and weather or not a trans person is getting healthcare.
If they did that while spouting that kinda bullshit at least they would be intellectually consistent, but they don't and that's how you know they're full of shit.
