If one of the most irretrievably clueless GOP Senators recognizes this, one might applaud.
However, this clown believes the Obamacare repeal bill doesnât go far enough.
Another profile in crueltyâŚ
All this blather and he refuses to say unconditionally, âI will not vote for this bill.â
Donât hold your breath waiting for it, either.
That´s rich: attack the repeal from the right in order to appease the wingnuts, and at the same time not risk the wrath of the electorate by voting for a bill that would eliminate insurance for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites who presently are covered.
Another Ron Johnson profile in courage.
In a portion of his New York Times piece cut from the final, Sen. Johnson (R-Koch) stated: âI will only support a bill that strips at least 25 million of health insurance. I also want at least 100,000 of the poor and elderly to die annually. My estimates are that only 23 million will lose insurance and merely 70,000 will die.This bill needs to be crueler.â
Johnson called for âconsumer-driven, free-market competitionâ in the health care market
Free-market healthcare is a myth. Johnson is just spouting GOP sound bites now. Doesnât have a clue what they mean.
Seeing how giving cats like me a tax cut is the sole aim, he is not wrong there â but his Obamacare fix is stupid too.
Johnson = As wiggly as an eel.
I got $20 bucks says he votes for this bill in substantially itâs current form. They all will.
Editorial requestâCouldnât Johnsonâs repulsive, stomach-turning face in the postâs photo be fuzzed-out like the media does with violent or naughty images?
Yep
Does he mean that it doesnât kill and maim enough people?
Meanwhile, numbnuts is projection tweeting his fav off-topics, againâŚ
Wisconsin produces some seriously vile politicians - donât actually expect anything of value to come from this guy. Itâs all a show - Mitch just hasnât stroked his ego enough yet.
Senator Johnson is mistaken about the purpose of the bill.
He recognizes nothing.
Johnson called for âconsumer-driven, free-market competitionâ in the health care market, which he argued would ârestrain (if not lower) costs while improving quality, access and innovation.â
Because obviously, that was working great for us before. The ACA was clearly just a solution in search of a problem.
And obviously, a statewide online market place where consumers could make apples to apples comparisons on the tradeoffs between premiums, co-pays, co-insurance, and benefits wasnât sufficiently free-markety and consumer driven.
Heâs just a dimwit dimly spouting 2014 vintage Koch talking points to satisfy the teanuts that he had to hold his nose to vote for it.
âJohnson called for âconsumer-driven, free-market competitionâ in the health care marketâ
Iâm still trying to figure out what a âconsumerâ is in this context. So Iâm throwing up blood, or my kid is having a seizure, and I go to see my doctor about itâŚam I a âconsumerâ? Like Iâm a consumer when I buy a dishwasher or a quart of milk?
I keep thinking I canât despise these people any more than I do, and they keep proving me wrong.
The previous Republican Party developed the individual mandate as an example of âpersonal responsibilityâ that would assure that all Americans âhad skin in the game.â This version is pleased to allow all Americans to have the âfreedomâ and âlibertyâ buy into to crap health care plans, thinking that they are actually covered. In other words, this version of the GOP is happy to perpetuate fraud in the health care system. Now THATâs personal responsibility!
Other states can proffer a set of Republican politicians more evil, or more slimy, or more cynical, or more nefarious. None can hope to compete with the great state of Wisconsin by the metric of clueless and fundamentally dopey.
Itâs just cargo cultism, sacred incantations spewed without any understanding of what they mean (or even a recognition that words mean things).
