Here’s an idea: Why don’t we fund healthcare by taxing gun owners? A hundred thousand Americans are shot every year, and each of them is shot by a gun owner.
They’re causing damage, which means, by definition, they are not leading “good lives.”
Might as well have them pony up. You want a gun? You’ll have to pay a $1000 healthcare tax.
Good lives? Just who is going to make that determination? The insurance companies or guys like you?
On MPT Daily today, Katy Tur interviewed Rep. Chris Collins of New York, who immediately guaranteed that his constituents would have preexisting coverage guaranteed at no higher costs. When she asked how, he launched into how great New York state law requires coverage and has all these great guarantees for New York citizens. When Katy asked about people in other states, he said there were limited waivers, and high risk pools, but it wouldn’t be that bad, etc.
Asses.
“thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives,”
So all people who get cancer, sick, or get shot by stray bullets do not lead “good” lives. Got it. And if you are Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama you are automatically an asshole.
See above.
The party of Hate.
So insurance rates for preexisting conditions will be decided by death panels. About time.
So, I guess “the people who have done things the right way” are people who died young? Because apparently getting older is one of the primary ways in which people “don’t lead good lives.”
Huh??? What???
A Republican congressman said Monday that an amendment to the GOP’s American Health Care Act would require sicker people to pay more in insurance costs than people “who lead good lives.”
So, Mo, I guess Gov. Abbott wasn’t one of those people “who lead good lives”?
Or Helen Keller?
Or Stephen Hawking?
Idiot Typical Republican.
I normally don’t really wish for hateful shit on people. But I do hope this asshole gets bone cancer after that self-righteous bit of disgusting victim-blaming.
If you can’t afford your insurance, it’s just the will of God.
Or, as the Republicans like to call him, the Big Underwriter in the Sky.
This immoral GOP asshat’s rapture elevator is definitely going down, not up, come JUDGMINT DAY.
That’s all part of the GOP version of the beatitudes:
“Blessed are the healthy. The sick? You had it coming.”
I saw this fellow say that when I was on the treadmill at the gym. Nice to know he approves of my lifestyle. Maybe he will pay for my gym membership.
Pre-existing conditions? God’s answer for those leading a sinful life. I read it in the Bible.
slightly OT, won’t just affect exchange. community rating for everyone will disappear, not just ppl with coverage gaps. making everyone people who haven’t done things “right.”
Hate and treason. Don’t forget the treason.
Here it is, that heartless, dumb, just world Calvinism.
Pardon my language, but fuck you sir.
