Of course Trumpcare is awful. Trumpcare is cruel. If Trumpcare passes thousands more will die.

All of this is undeniably true.
The problem is that the conversation usually stops there.
I used to be cynical, but now I know that our illustrious establishment leaders are only doing what they can for those that need them the most.
