And many of the conservatives I know seem to think only of the people they're sure are "gaming the system"--not working and living off welfare and getting free healthcare. Of course, we all know that isn't happening, but I've heard so many of them go straight to that argument when healthcare comes up.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-75887609168909428212017-06-24T23:04:38.415-07:002017-06-24T23:04:38.415-07:00That's for sure!
