    Length doesn’t create commas. That’s an adverbial phrase. There are plenty of single word adverbial phrases. I could come up with three word sentences with commas.

      Yeah, but if you’re composing a slogan for a billboard people might glimpse for a few moments, you want it short and direct. “Trump is cutting your medical services” or something. The adverbial phrase is itself unnecessary verbosity.
