Back during the Bush and Obama years, I remember hearing so many right-wing conspiracies about FEMA camps.

Why didn't anyone ask "If FEMA has the ability to set up camps and transport large numbers of people, why aren't they doing that every time there's a big hurricane or wildfire?"

Fake news promised FEMA camps staffed by Obama death panels if the ACA passed.

The ACA passed, where are the promised camps?

We have death panels, they're the insurance guys who write prior auth regs and doctors who handle appeals.

Yeah but the promise was that the boomers will be targeted but they got Medicare

Wagies are the ones subject to corporate death panels after paying the premium AND the boomers socialized option
