and we just all tell our congressmen—sure, we’ll have the health care you want us to have—as long as it’s the same as YOURS—i.e., when we get brain cancer, we can be helicoptered to Duke just like Teddy the K. there.

another attack on lower middle class. not rich enough to afford to buy it, probably don’t have a job that provides it and not poor enough to get the free hand out.
