    These greedy motherfuckers don’t want anyone to be helped unless they profit somehow.

      I think it’d be more accurate these authoritarian motherfuckers don’t want anyone to be anything other than their slaves.

      Cato Institute was cited in the article, and, being a fervent right-wing think tank hater, they don’t talk about profit. Instead, they’ll argue for some shit like short term limited duration insurance because they’re less regulated than other health insurance plans. This falls in line with their “De-regulate Everything” argumentative scheme. In other words, it’s perfectly a-okay if companies can rip people off without federal oversight.

      But for programs that in any way help other people…well…they’re unconstitutional or an abuse of executive power.

      It’s interesting (except not at all, because they’re all hypocrites) how they haven’t said anything against DeSantis’s use of executive power in Florida. Somehow, everything he does is constitutional and within the reach of executive power.
