There is a lot of clowning on this, but honest to God the number of dudes I know who are either actively or passively trying to off themselves because modern medicine is somehow weakness is not insignificant. And when men don't take care of themselves, for whatever reason, who ends up doing it?

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!
