I've said it before, it is absolutely mind-boggling the extents to which some will go to try to prevent others from getting healthcare.

Of course, having failed to pass the Democrat healthcare reform in the 90s, we managed to pass one of the conservative counter proposal a few decades later and Republicans reject that now, too.
