Yeah ! Also, too, the kids could go without breakfast a couple days a week to get that deductible down to a reasonable rate.

Chaffetz: Obama gave too much to too many people. They got used to the tyranny of ObamaCare. Now they have to work hard and will get access to health care as a result. You will be lucky to have access to death panels.

A new iPhone costs one half of my wife’s and my insurance premiums for one month. I hope this asshole comment comes back to bite him in the biggest way possible. My contempt for this obvious class warfare type of comment is immense, especially for a guy who made his money fronting for a pyramid scheme.

Dems are going to have to be VERY, VERY marketing savvy in fighting this debacle. We can’t make an assumption that all Americans will “get it.” Most of the Democratic base gets it but for some people in this country, this kind of sadism might make sense.

This son-of-a-bitch gives weasels a bad name.

Funny how the “richest nation on the planet™” can’t figure out healthcare. I guess the universal coverage models that work in every other industrial society, and deliver better outcomes cheaper, are just too darn complicated.

Hey. Hey, Asshole. Do you…do you know what health insurance actually costs? Cause if I could get insurance for the cost of a full price iphone I would gladly do that. You are a true dick weasel.

Someone needs to say to this guy right away that they will gladly give him their phone for his healthcare plan.

You would be surprised how much a tone deaf comment like this resonates with the actual people who are on Medicaid thanks to Obama and have i Phones.

Something along the lines of - you like getting throttled on your data plan? You’ll love what the GOP has waiting for you in the emergency room.

It’s not so much that the “richest nation on the planet™” can’t figure it out; it’s more that the majority of people in this country are just now realizing that health insurance should be a right and not a privledge. There’s still some ignorance in America about what health insurance does, how it should do it, who it should cover, what it should cost, etc. It’s unfortunate that it’s only when we stand to lose what we have that we’re playing defence.

So, Repuglicans now want to remove millions from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, etc, just so they can give tax breaks to their buddies?

“If you are poor, you DESERVE to suffer”

The wealthy are holding the middle-class and the poor as hostages to their overpriced for-profit heathcare ATM.

Is there any doubt which side of that equation Republicans own?

Easy for him to say. With that free congressional health care plan he enjoys courtesy of the American taxpayer, he cannot imagine what real world health care costs… or care.
