That's not funny, I know some kids who are going to die that way.
We all do.

Dear Anonymous,

This is political humor. The point is that to the
politician voting for the Republican health Care Act,
it's a perfectly good trade off-the life of some kid
he doesn't know in return for all that campaign money
for his re-election. In the first panel we see how any
decent person would react to a deal like that. When I
look at the cartoon I'm outraged at the politician, not
the artist.

Doom and gloom, doom and gloom. Ah yes I remember bodies stacking up in the streets, people dying everywhere before the savior of Obamacare stopped all Americans dying.
