Not purchasing something for someone is not the same as denying that thing to someone. The claim that Brat wants to deny health care to seniors is ludicrous. Brat made no such claim. Liberaltards twisting his words to try to get others to hate him make that claim.
Your car analogy would only work if the government didn't already provide healthcare to some via Medicare. I'm surprised you didn't consider this obvious distinction.
You now seem to be hiding behind the fact that Brat didn't use the words 'deny healthcare to seniors'. Implementing changes to an existing service that would make it impossible for current recipients to access it is the same as denying them the service. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
The government denying someone health care is essentially a law barring that person from receiving health care. Simply stopping paying for health care is not denying it....it is simply stopping paying for it.
The government used to hand out cheese to poor people. They stopped..does that mean the government has denied cheese to poor people? Of course not.
Even if Brat wanted to deny people Medicare(which he never claimed)....Medicare is not health care. Medicare is an entitlement that pays for health care. The claim that Brat wants to deny healthcare to seniors is an obvious lie.....designed to get people to hate Brat.
