A couple distraught over health care costs jumped to their deaths in Murray Hill early Friday — leaving suicide notes pleading for their children to be cared for, a law enforcement source told The Post.

The bodies of the man and woman, both in their 50s, were found on 33rd Street between Park and Madison avenues.

Let’s thank John McCain for their deaths.

Thanks, John!

The media is itching to blame this on Trump. Some “reporter” will find a way.

Very sad. “The man also had a note in his pocket saying, “’We both have medical issues, we just can’t afford the health care.’” “

They probably couldn’t afford to live in an area like Murray Hill, either ...

Everyone needs to bombard the social media pages of McJi*z-Stain, Murkowski, Collins, Heller, Portman, and anyone else who voted against repeal with this article and point to them as the blame.

John McCain needs a blood-dripped copy of this story in the mail.

People are being forced to pay thousands of dollars for health insurance that will provide them no actual health care because of high deductibles and a health care market that is so ridiculously expensive. They are out thousands of dollars every year and have no source of health care.

“NOT fake news”

Could be fake suicide note though.

Say a couple is walking around w/MAGA attire.

Antifa crowd kills them, adds note.

GUARANTEED Schumer or another Dem d-bag will have this article blown up into one of those big posters they like to drag out on the Senate floor and blame Repubs for not succumbing to “bipartisan” law.

Isn’t that a very high rent district? Maybe if they moved to Quuens they might have had a few extra bucks.

I suspect they had a lot of other reasons besides their health insurance bills.

Most likely but I am sure some Freepers more knowledgeable can answer directly.

I really don’t blame him, I blame the brain dead morons who keep reelecting him. He is doing exactly what I would expect from someone like him, it’s like owning a donut shop and asking Michael Moore to guard the donuts. Without question no surprise whatsoever Moore is going to eat all of the donuts so why would you have him watch the donuts? Same with McCain, he has absolutely zero interest in doing good for country or the people yet they elect him.

True for those playing the game as written by the cretins in DC. Seems these two should have been going to their County hospital for treatment if they couldn’t keep up with the bills. I think there is more to the story.

That was my first thought. Who among us peons can afford rent in that area? There are doctors who can't afford the rent in Murray Hill.

I'm betting this couple were lifelong democrats who voted for Obama at least twice.
