Title: Trump White House Says Diabetics Don’t Deserve Health Care

Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said that people with Type 2 diabetes don’t deserve to have health insurance because they gave themselves diabetes.

While speaking at Stanford University, Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney classified diabetes as a bad lifestyle choice, “That doesn’t mean we should take care of the person who sits at home, eats poorly and gets diabetes. Is that the same thing as Jimmy Kimmel’s kid? I don’t think that it is.”

If you get Type II diabetes because you listened to Republicans and rebelled against former First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to encourage healthy eating, you’re on your own.

According to the CDC, “More than 29 million Americans are living with diabetes, and 86 million are living with prediabetes, a serious health condition that increases a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes, and type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5%. The health and economic costs for both are enormous.”

The way Republicans are going to bring down the cost of health care is to not pay for care for people who have Type II diabetes.

Not surprisingly the top nine states with the highest rates of diabetes were all won by Donald Trump in 2016 presidential election.

The principle behind the Republican plan is that sick people must pay more for less coverage. Trumpcare is targeting sick people, and the next group on the list are the more than 100 million Americans who have Type II diabetes or are pre-diabetic.

The cost of treating someone with type two or prediabetes minincule.

Not when you multiply it by 30 million or so.

100 million a year here to treat type 2,100 million there to treat high blood pressure from obesity,and pretty soon you are talking about real money.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Obesity is a far different issue. That is caused by a lack of discipline in what you eat. It produces secondary effects over time.

" This guy is nuts "

I suppose he only approves of people that live like Euell Gibbons.

What will they do next, write off anyone that has ever smoked, drank alcohol, rode motorcycles, skate boards, played contact sports, etc, etc ?

If they decided against people that were dumbasses, crooked, & liars, that would eliminate everyone in DC, and every state capital in the US.
