In related news, author Peter David was just kicked off Medicaid according to his GoFundMe… he subsequently died. :(
Ah yes, I remember that part of the Bible where Jesus healed the sick, but only if they weren’t dirty freeloaders.
And Jesus walked into the temple and handed each money lender a Benjamin and a teener and said "Fuck the poor!"Amen.
TIL Peter David was flat broke, disabled as fuck, but was still kicked off Medicaid.
It looks like he was lucky enough to still be getting care. The problem is that his medical bills were so high that his family was at risk of becoming homeless.
His wife has been struggling to get a job that pays a living wage, and his daughter has been struggling to get an entry level role. Sadly, this is a very American story, and if he wasn’t lucky enough to have so many fans, things would be even darker for his family.
Wiliam Messner Loebs is in the same boat, elderly, poor health, one arm, living with his ill wife in their car, delivering sandwiches for cash. :(
Thankfully no longer the case according to his Patreon account:
Every time I see that man’s shit eating grin I get so mad. Especially because I know he loves every second of destroying other peoples lives.
Much like Ryan Reynolds Mike Johnson has a very punchable face.
You’re not wrong
Its a moral imperative that we provide healthcare to each other. Mike Dick over here wouldnt know shit about civility.
Then he should start with his own government all-paid healthcare.
That’s a great point. What are his benefits in detail? Meaning, how much is:
- his salary
- his stipends, if any
- his medical benefits including any payments, minimums, yearly allowances, etc.
- bonus for being chairmain?
- gifts or benefits from his campaign or donors
I don’t have answers to those. But i know they all get free fully covered healthcare. That’s enough to piss me off.
The ol’ “fuck you, I got mine” party.
Well, you see, he’s not an unborn child, so it’s fine. 🫠
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Christianity is nothing more than a cudgel for these people.
What verse is this if you remember off hand?
My comment started with Matthew 25:41, but it’s worth going back to 25:31 for the rest of the passage. The sheep and the goats; the wheat and the chaff.
Not a Christian, but I want to live my life like the sheep. I think this is the most powerful passage ever written. Matthew has my favorite Jesus.
I would find it ‘moral’ to throw Mike off something, as well.

If one’s morality is focused solely on making the rich richer…
It is moral to destroy the cancer that festers among us.
That man never ceases to have a punchable face.
I’m a Republican on Medicaid who thinks This is the WRONG DECISION but I would RATHER LITERALLY DIE OF PREVENTABLE CAUSES then to Vote for someone who ISNT a REPUBLICAN!
Sounds accurate.
Is it moral to deny Medicaid to people who earned $5 too much? Because that’s what we’ve been doing forever. The benefit cliff intencentivises people to stay in poverty.
It seems like social programs are just poverty treadmills to keep a certain class of people in a quasi underclass system to be abused.
Sure Mike, it’s fine with you, your insurance covers it whenever you get an eye full of santorum
