The solution is simple-import health care from China. When they get too expensive, import it from Vietnam and Cambodia. That’s worked for T shirts, even the poor can afford them. $5.99 bypasses before 4 PM on Tuesdays. right Congressman?.

‘No One’s Arguing’ Health Care Used To Be ‘Wonderful’

trump: Wrong!. It was wonderful before Obama and will be wonderful again after Obama. Why? Becuase our health care will NOT be called ObamaCare. Black Muslim cant rule our health.

One of the reasons Velshi was able to know down every single one of Jordan’s talking points is due to the fact that Velshi was at CNN for a couple of years as one of their financial correspondents. He knows what kind of BS to look for and how to refute it. Few other anchors have enough knowledge to be able to knock down the wall of stupidity.

In addition, when Jordan brought up the old chestnut of “everyone comes to this country for health care” Velshi immediately destroyed that lie by bringing up the fact that he, himself, is from Canada and NO ONE he knows has ever come here for health care reasons.

“We know Obamacare’s a mess, fewer choices, higher premiums and higher deductibles, it’s a complete disaster,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)

But we don’t know that! More importantly, we have no friggin’ clue how DrumpfDon’tCare is going to be any better.

Yes, very wealthy people do sometimes come to the US from around the world for the elite hospitals like Sloan-Kettering, the Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, etc. That’s what you would have under any system when you have a gigantic country with 350 million people. People also go to Switzerland and they have a system that was more or less the model for Obamacare. Meanwhile, Americans go to Thailand and India because they can get treated in good hospitals for much less than here.

I notice from the photo that Jordan is a short-fingered vulgarian. It figures.

It seems the incoherency and the nuttiness of the tweet is related to the time it’s sent.

“Nowhere on the face of the Earth is there a free health insurance market that works.”

Well, sure, if you limit your thinking to this planet!

There are countless imaginary worlds where tax cuts decrease deficits, billionaires create jobs, and Republicans don’t kill poor people.

Open your mind!

It’s about f**king time that we got serious pushback on these talking points. Dammit, why do I have to praise someone for doing something that every major news organization should be doing?!

Let’s bring back affordable insurance for working class families."

You’ve got the wrong approach to this problem. You should be thinking, lets bring affordable healthcare for working class families. Getting rid of health insurance companies would be the first step. They are not needed for affordable health care. We need to reform the whole damn system and take the profit out of it. Until then, you’re just bailing water out of a sinking boat at a slower rate than than it is coming in.
