What's real fucked is the problem America has with it, is it's too cheap to run shit like that.

The billions healthcare corporations make every year in profit, could just be used to provide healthcare.

But then a very small amount of people wouldn't be obscenely wealthy, so that's not an option.

Well about 20% of Americans want that kid to suffer, would take no part in helping them, and most would actively cheer for death... And that 20% makes up a majority of people able/willing to vote on most days.

Thus, this shit.
