Notices about natural disaster should not be pay walled, full stop

Medical care should not be pay walled, full stop.

Oops. Looks like precedence has been set.

The fact that something is done a certain way currently has no bearing on whether it should be done that way.

Healthcare is a curious example to choose, too, since US healthcare is probably one of the worst examples of corruption, waste, and inefficiency of any industry I can think of.

What will stop them?
Hopefully the courts, which have been found so some so far

Congress should also be weighing in, but...

The VP has already stated that they'll disregard court rulings. So yeah, courts are going to be useless.
SCOTUS has already said POTUS is immune. Anyone else not covered by that immunity would be potentially pardoned. After they are pardoned, they are free to go back to doing exactly what they were doing before. They become untouchable.

SCOTUS really screwed the public with that immunity ruling

> Congress should also be weighing in, but...

(One-half of) Congress couldn't be bothered to weight in when there was an attempted insurrection / self-coup:
