  1. It’s already starting. She ain’t lying when she says she idolizes the woman who destroyed the UK for all future generations.

  2. Japan should reasonably riot over this. Privatization of healthcare is a blight that should be exterminated at all cost. 

  3. I mean tf she can discuss with a cancer patient 

    “Hey can I cut financial aid for your cancer treatment? Cheers bruh”

    Let’s be like America! Wars! Privatized health insurance!

    Fuck, why copy only the shitty parts of the US?

  5. Why even go in this direction? Denying or restricting treatment to cancer patients to save money? While going into debt to feed more infrastructure projects and rice farmer subsidies? Why squander political capital and public popularity on this?
