Trumpists going wild RN...I don't understand one thing, since their money is based on the back of the average day worker, wouldn't it be smarter to just find the cure for cancer so those people can live longer and make them more money? This is so stupid that it looks like an Onion Post

They don't want cures. They want to treat symptoms. A patient cured is a customer lost. But they want the treatment to be expensive so you have a reason for needing healthcare. But they don't want healthcare to be affordable and they want it tied to employment. That way you'll be willing to work for $7 per hour because you also get $1500 "worth" of health insurance per month to pay for your treatments.
