... it's exactly what Trump said he was going to do. It's not like this is any sort of unexpected surprise. People online like to remind us that this is their "find-out" moment. But I disagree... I think they knew all along what would happen. They just didn't care. Sticking it to the Democrats (or "Demon-crats" to use their juvenile vernacular) was more important.

It will be interesting to see how low the average expected lifespan falls in the US, and which red-states have the worst healthcare outcomes. On the bright side... fewer MAGA voters.
