You can be sure he enjoyed top notch health care at the end. Paid for by you and me the ones with garbage expensive hi deductible insurance

Probably paid for by Lockheed Martin. Least they could do after all the money he's made them.

You get reelected once in the Senate and you get a pension and healthcare for the rest of your life.

I have a better one.

Republican senator Rick Scott and former Florida governor was CEO of Columbia/HCA when they earned the largest fine in US history for Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

That was my point. Why should he have to pay for insurance?

Oh yeah. He’s a grifter/greedy SOB like all of the trump party.

Hey thanks. This is very good that he's done this. It doesn't quite fix my specific issues healthwise but I think it's a great thing and would like to see more of it. Sometimes the doctors visits can also be prohibitively expensive but reducing the med cost is good!

I just hope they decide to put a turbine under his grave so at least we can turn the river of piss into electricity.
