Throw away money on an unwinnable lawsuit when you be using it to set
up your socialist utopia?

Even deadbeats?  See previous quote.

In healthcare  "free" and "comprehensive" are virtually, mutually
exclusive, bonehead.

See above quote.

Who will pay for all this Utopian BS, bonehead?

No more free enterprise.  You are a bonehead.

This is an outright lie.
