2. So this fund for rural hospitals

I assume it will only be used in red states?

Fuck these evil fuckers.

I said many years ago that one of the reasons that Republicans were opposed to single payer healthcare was because it would put poor people in line for healthcare ahead of rich people. That is one of the drawbacks for Canada's healthcare, it takes longer to see a doctor because poor people are in line.
