Several Idaho Republicans are saying people who die because they can’t receive Medicaid are only getting what they deserve. “If you DIE—actually DIE—because you can’t get a government handout, obviously you’re a piece of you–know–what, and death is exactly what you should get,” said Idaho’s governor, Butch Otter. Otter was responding to word of Senate testimony in Boise that the state’s legislature has caused almost a thousand deaths in the last three years by refusing to expand Medicaid. State assemblyman Norm Semanko said, “Well, the governor does have a colorful way with language, and at times he can be the king of cronyism, but what he said is true. Let me ask you this. How many of these people we supposedly ‘killed’ drove cars? How many had contact lenses instead of glasses? How many ate fancy instead of saving with that stuff the college kids eat, them Ramen noodles? Because I tell you, if you can afford to gas up a car, or not eat noodles, you can afford to pay for doctorin’.” In other news, disgraced former drug company CEO Martin Shkreli was seen buying Depends and air fresheners at a Washington, D.C., 7–Eleven, and mirrors and a fog machine at a magic store.
