To take the cynical side of this: Some Republican party supporters – mostly Tea Party and fiscal conservatives, would not have made any effort to prevent these people from commiting murder-suicide. Their rationale: if you don’t have the money, too bad. Tough shit. You shouldn’t be drinking from the public trough and getting the government to pay for your health care. You’re on your own. Remember that it is the R party that doesn’t approve of food stamps or welfare, because those sorts of social support programs breed dependency on those who receive it. And it is the R party that has tried to neuter Obamacare and single payer healthcare and just about everything else health-care related. So if a republican “plan” come up to address these dead peoples’ needs,, I wouldn’t trust it for a second.
