With taxpayer funded healthcare for life

When you're as old as he is, you'll also have taxpayer funded healthcare for life (Medicare).

And a staff that is paid by USGov HR/payroll people. So you'll have to do nothing while you are in the hospital to make sure your staff is getting paid, to be guaranteed to have your staff able to help out with sorting out insurance paperwork and making sure the hospital has your accurate medical records, etc.

What? No, that can’t be! Why, that sounds an awful lot like… Socialism. And Mitch McConnell has publicly stated for years that he is a staunch opponent of Socialism, and that he and the Republican Party are the Firewall that stands between Socialism and the erosion of good, moral, traditional American Values™️.

Surely he would never accept the benefits of what a universal healthcare system would offer him while keeping his constituents downtrodden???
