      This is the point. They want to erase any legacy either of them left. Trump is a petty little asshole who is still mad that Obama made fun of him once.

      The fact that there’s shares to be had for denying care is crazy. They know denying care is their business! Meaning that the money they didn’t spend on your care doesn’t go back into the pot for everyone in your group, they are pocketing some of the money whenever they deny someone. That’s it. They don’t help anyone but themselves. There should be a requirement that insurance companies publicly announce how much money they made from denying care
