        Well if you don’t test for it then you won’t have it. So there’s no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is king president

      Maybe we could pay for it with Kamala’s old Medicare for All plan or Mayor Pete’s “Medicare for All Who Want It”?

      Let’s be clear though, Trump isn’t going to do those things. He’ll just say whatever it takes to stay out of prison.
