Losing a foot to diabetes doesn't kill you, but only RepubliCONs don't care, unless it is someone in their extended family.

Foregoing stents and losing the ability to walk more than a block.

Suffering with pain from a failed knee.

Incomplete therapy from a brain injury.

On and on. Making America Groan with pain Again.
