I’ll guess that west Texans want their cake and eat it too.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoAm I following your implication here correctly? People in rural west Texas deserve to have their hospitals closed down because of their political affiliations? Hell, Trump wasn't even an anti-Medicare politician, he actually campaigned on keeping it going.
