Many, many people are going to die because of this.

I always thought 5% (1/20) of the USA population would not survive this administration.

But not from violence: instead they will die, without headlines, from lack of medicine for simple things like high blood pressure and diabetes; not screening cancers; complications from malnutrition; infectious diseases; and combinations of these.
