Dear Dingo:
I see that many right wing forums repeat the message that only those with "underlying conditions" have negative outcomes (such as death) from Covid 19. Why do they spew that? Do they really feel that 400,000 deaths, even for those with underlying conditions, is pro-life or even ok?
Answer:
Alas, it was simply the Trump Healthcare plan--cost savings for all! Once upon a time, when the Democrats proposed discussing voluntary "end of life care", the ever-wise arctic oracle, Sarah Palin, dubbed the suggestion as "death panels".
Apparently, what the Republicans did not like about 'end of life care', was the 'voluntary' part. Instead, they feel that in order to afford socialized medicine, we really need to speed up eliminating the vulnerable and pesky weaklings. Forcing them into end of life. This outcome can be achieved in many ways: anti maskers harassing shoppers at Trader Joe's, inviting grandma to a rally or simply hiding all the personal protective equipment. Awesome healthcare savings!
