Former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse announced Tuesday that he’s been diagnosed with “metastasized, stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.”
“Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do,” Sasse, 53, wrote on X.
In announcing his Senate candidacy, Sasse expressed strong opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling himself “the anti-Obamacare candidate” and declaring that “If it lives, America as we know it will die.” In the Senate, Sasse continued to support repeal of the ACA. In 2017, with Republicans unable to develop a repeal-and-replace plan that could secure a majority in the Senate, Sasse proposed an immediate repeal with a one-year delay in implementation, and called on the Senate to give up its August recess to allow it to work on a replacement measure.
I have no sympathy for people who condemn others to death or poverty in order to enrich themselves. Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker.
Shut up, then eat shit and die.
Thoughts and prayers.
Not really
I hope the disease treats Ben exactly as he chose to treat others
Hopefully hell has better Healthcare than you wanted for us.
I hope his end-of-life care doesn’t cause any financial hardship!

He resigned as university president last year to focus on taking care of his family after his wife was diagnosed with epilepsy.
Well that’s a pretty shitty turn of events.
