Anything most older folks in North Carolina will be sponged
by the Medical Industry
instead of being left to the kids.
What most were thinking of leaving to their kids
will go up in smoke after a few months.
It's the last con, after our nation's children are charged by our 'doctors',
via Medicare and Medicaid,
for overpriced services paid for with borrowed or printed money.
We have collectively sold out our kids
while they play with their phones
and watch endless amounts of something else
on Netflix.
