Hey but we are all going to save like $8 each (assuming everyone pays equally) a year on taxes! And when you think of it, that's a better trade because you can buy like one vegetable at Whole Foods and that will stop you from getting cancer in the first place!

The cold icy grip of death can’t take this man soon enough.
You know what is fucked up? It won't stop with his death. While a lot of his shit does come from his absolute wanton ignorance and sheer evil heart, the evil and mentality that he has and has spread is not unique to him. All of his underlings are just as evil as he is. They do not give a fuck about anything other than their wealth and their own self-preservation.
Yes, exactly like with most terrorist organizations even when you cut the head off, you will just create a power vacuum and whatever replaces it could very well be much worse than what was there before.
May he contract multiple glioblastomae just as the cuts go live
The cuts already happened already. He is as-yet-undiagnosed
Every day I think I cannot see worse news. I try to avoid it a much as I can and have killed all my accounts on any sites except here. I've curated any news google sends me to everything but actual news. Then I scroll 3 times on lemmy and omg. This is insane. Do they think only dens get cancer? Complete lack of any thinking - never mind critical! Who is going to pocket all that saved money? My whiskey intake has increased exponentially.
Trump is cancer.
Looks like America lost another war.
Never forget that this is exactly what magats wanted. The suffering is the point
It was all worth it to stop the genocide in Gaza. He did stop the genocide, right?
Oh, is this one of the wars Trump said he ended?!
Eliminate Cancer Cures to own the LIBS!
-Pro Life Republicans!
Its ok, they were born, so they must have sinned, and are therefore going to hell and not worthy of being cured. /s
Pretty much - it’s Pro Life Creation
After that, you’re on your own!
GOP, The Pro-Cancer Party.
Who else but Krasnov? Marcelo might be senile, but he was right.
Yeah thousands of people will be murdered by the administration due to their horrible decisions.
EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN knows someone affected by cancer. Cancer causes keep increases as well as the types of cancers. By stopping the research into them for the majority of the population, what benefit does that give us?!?
I would love to hear the thought process behind killing Americans to give billionaires more money.
I am very likely to be one of those deaths when the Medicaid rules change on January 1st, 2027.
Washington state minimum wage is pretty high and increases based on cost of living every year. The income cutoff for Medicaid is pretty low.
I will have to be working at least 20 hours a week in 2027, and there's a significant chance that in doing so I will end up making more than the Medicaid limit and be forced to pay for health insurance that won't cover nearly as much of the $18k a month without insurance meds that I very likely may have to take for the rest of my life to stay alive.
To not have to do this I would need to give up working and apply for disability. Even though I have cancer I would need legal disability status to avoid the work requirements since I don't have children. Even though I am in my forties I am considered one of those "able bodied young men abusing Medicaid to stay home playing video games."
It's fucking sickening and I am furious about it.
Treatment funnels more money upward than cures.
I think that's a fairly small part of it. There were two big things that happened:
- Scientists were able to show that the HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer. This gets rid of the treatment/cure payment thing entirely.
- Air pollution turned out to be a lot more harmful than people realized, which means that there's a much stronger reason to get rid of combustion as a routine thing that happens, and Trump's bribe-payers would be out a really huge amount of money if that happened.
It doesn't. It kills American. The HF believes here's an excess of 258,000,000 Americans.
True that might be a big driver of this
Come to Canada. We would be happy to have you.
I really want to move there
The bigger cities are expensive. Quebec city is smaller, very nice, but learn French, eh?
258,000,000 deaths in America is one thing.
But this sort of thing impacts the rest of the world.
Hope he does of it - soon
Holocaust without the gas chambers. Kill the sick by making health care more out of reach.
Well. Yeah, they are just gonna slow down everyone else in the labor camps.
That's how Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Leopold II, and so many others achieved massive amounts of death.
Executions don't do that. The Heritage Foundation is interested in thinning the population, and executions are useful for fear and removing specifically interfering and troublesome people from the picture.
Why are they so fascinated with eliminating so much of the population? I do not know. The only thing I can rationalize is that a smaller population is much easier to control and rule, and much less threatening.
More people represents more competition for your position and assets.
Genocide by attrition. Same way they kill off the indigenous. Same way they oppress minorities by making life extremely difficult such that successive generations dwindle.
This Holocaust brought to you in part by AI. "AI: Replacing workers since 2023."
Call it what it is, this is indiscriminate murder.
The indiscriminate is the "funny" part here - GOP voters are slowly waking up to the fact that there's no way to "punish" only the libs, illegals and sexual deviants.
Exactly .... most laws state that manslaughter is when your actions without your knowledge cause the death of someone
Murder is when you knowingly do something or take a series of actions knowing that it will definitely kill someone or a group of people
The fox is in the henhouse. You guys know what to do.
Trump was worried they'd find a cure for him. Already had one close call with a high-speed lead treatment but it ended up going to a lower-priority threat instead.
Cancer won?
MAGA, a cancer on society, is just supporting a natural ally.
Well, we'll still do cancer research in Europe, and we are not doing too badly. Like the European COVID vaccines were just a byproduct of cancer research.
For now, but the rise of fascism continues to loom over Europe.
"The real cancer is the Radical Left!"
Didn’t some repugnican nazi already state that the second civil war will be bloodless if the left allow it? So this is just part of the Heritage Foundation de-population tactics. Entirely predictable and consistent with their morality.
"This wouldn't have to happen if the left didn't call us Nazis and fascists"
Someone must have told him non-white people were getting treatment.
As long as billionaires can save a few more million in taxes, it'll be all worth it.
"Yay. Let's cut all that wAsTe, fRaUd aNd aBuSe!!!!11111eleventy! So much winnnnnnninnnnng!1111"
-voters that would cut their own balls off to own the libs.
Political Cancer stops the War on Cancer
