Boomers will die this way en masse in nursing homes and even the regular hospital system. They are about to learn first hand the correlation between their precious tax cuts and nursing ratios/turnover.

We already pay enough taxes to cover universal healthcare.

It's just not spent on that.

Their insurance is better than yours they won't suffer this until it doesn't matter much and their vote doesn't really count anymore.

This is Boring Dystopia. What will instead happen is everyone will shrug, just like when we let a bunch of boomers die from COVID, and then blame the Democrats somehow.

and then blame the Democrats somehow.

Yes, how could anyone possibly blame the guy who prematurely declared the end of the pandemic, resulting in the discontinuation of preventative measures and robust data tracking, for the consequences of that decision?

Only those crazy tankies!

Boomers no longer have the majority voting power. You can stop this any time.
