Pelosi also hit at Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, who told reporters on Wednesday that the affordability of a vaccine for the disease could not be guaranteed “because we need the private sector to invest.”

You know, if you can’t afford the $500 the vaccine is going to cost for every member of your family maybe you should have studied harder in school.

Socialized medicine! Nevermind the fact that fire departments are socialized.

Sooner or later the GOP will get around to making fire department responses a fee for services scheme.

Yeah, and then never have anything unexpected happen in your life that disables you and takes your well planned life, current assets, and financial future, and lights them up with a match.

Isn’t that covered by my Trumpcare plan, the one that “We’re having tremendous plans coming out now - health care plans - at a fraction of the cost that are much better than Obamacare.”

Good on Nancy. We’ve got a deadly global pandemic to deal with, and Trump is cutting the CDC’s budget, eliminating the jobs of the key people whose job it is to stop such diseases from spreading, presiding over the general hollowing out of our public healthcare infrastructure, and doing his damnedest to take health insurance away from tens of millions of Americans who are now facing the prospect of this disease. It’s political malpractice not to point those facts out incessantly.

Errr, too late. There are already rural fire departments in the south that are run as subscription services. If you don’t pay, they literally have stood by and watched homes burn.

Ladies and gentle beanies, I give you Republican America:

Trump doesn’t seem to care how many people die or what they die from as long as someone else takes the blame.

"The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t “have anything else to do,” according to people familiar with the president’s comments."

I feel better already.
