    He says they can’t afford to pay for it, and states should cover it, and states might have to raise their taxes, but then the federal government could lower taxes to offset that. Which obviously makes no fucking sense at all. What a moron.

    If you can’t afford a war, don’t start two.

      They get healthcare through the VA. Which, coincidentally, the gop would like to privatize and also ruin.
