Overview
The most expensive costs to insurance programs are the first and last six months of life. In Murder—What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make? the government has created ways to drastically reduce those costs. Quint and Doris Ursini are an unwilling part of the cost-reduction program. Although this novel deals in part with the murdering of babies, the story's main focus is the struggle of Quint and Doris Ursini attempting to raise the consciousness of their fellow US citizens, that older people—people over seventy—have value and worth far beyond the reduced costs of insurance; and to somehow stop the government from illegally confiscating wealth and property for redistribution by withholding treatment and euthanizing—murdering—those that are in need of a transplant or extended hospital care. This is a story of an old couple who take on the government.

About the author
Murder is Don Trimble's third novel. Hybris and the sequel to Hybris, Eviction Notice, were his first two. Murder takes a turn away from the mildly science fiction topic of Trimble's first two novels and focuses on today. Quint and Doris Ursini awaken to the horror of being handcuffed to their respective beds that are located in a "care" facility. Quint soon finds out that he and the others in the care unit are awaiting their "final shot"—euthanasia. One of the doctors in the facility takes a liking to Quint and enjoys having long discussions with this soon-to-be legally-murdered former casino hotel owner. Having owned four major casino hotels in Vegas, Quint had prepared for unknown disasters; however, being held for the final shot was not on his list of possibilities. Under false charges of tax evasion and skimming, Quint and Doris' hotels, homes, and properties were illegally confiscated by joint cooperation of the IRS, Department of Justice, and the Nevada Gaming Commission, to cover the erroneous fines, fees, and past due taxes. The Ursinis were never given a chance to defend themselves or their properties. All bank accounts were seized and medical files sealed. They were assigned a number in lieu of their names. Does the term, Auschwitz, come to mind? This is the Affordable Care Act's ultimate goal in action—population control, property confiscation, and redistribution; abort the unborn, and euthanize the old.
