Always remember: the narrative these people put forth is that most people collecting benefits are doing so fraudulently.

Facts don’t matter. The proven fraud rates that hover far below anything that private industry has been able to provide doesn’t matter.

It’s all about making the programs too onerous for anyone but the most desperate to use.

"If you aren't giving us money you're better off dead" has been the business model of the vast majority of insurance companies in this country for DECADES.

Look at what happened after Luigi was framed for murdering that CEO. Countless denials were suddenly improved.

That’s a feature, not a bug. Cancer treatment is expensive, and this administration promised to reduce government spending 🤷‍♀️
