The government isn’t deciding who gets insurance and who doesn’t. Everyone can get it now, if they choose to. They can choose not to, and pay a small fine if they have a refund coming on their income tax.
The governments that are deciding who lives and who dies are the state governments who refuse to expand Medicaid or attempt to make it a felony to help people sign up for health insurance.
Why don’t Republicans want people to have health insurance that will enable them to get health care?
It also gives us the freedom not to have to pay for health care for the uninsured, which we’ve been having to do since Republican Saint Ronald Wilson Reagan signed it into law in 1986.
First they came for the uninsured…
I would expect no less from a member of the political party run by people who believe Adam and Eve had vegetarian dinosaurs for neighbors in the Garden of Eden 5,000 years ago.
“When you have government deciding who gets health insurance and who doesn’t, what services they get and what services they have to provide, they’re really deciding who lives and who dies.”
So…you’re saying you have no idea what Obamacare is or does? And so you decided to go Godwin. Got it.
“Not to take away from the suffering of those who were dragged out of their homes, forced onto trains, herded into gas chambers and buried in mass graves, but that experience is exactly the same as using the law to expand the risk pool in order to make health insurance more affordable for all.”
the only point that was missed was the point your head comes to.
If this guy was honest about caring about deciding who lives and dies, he would either support Obamacare because it gets rid of preexisting condition denials, or object to it on the grounds that it does not ensure that every last person gets covered while acknowledging that it does help a lot of people. Oh, and what does this lying sack of s*** think about Medicaid expansion?

Canfield is a brilliant example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. He’s too freaking ignorant to understand how freaking ignorant he is.
I’m so over these clowns who have probably never either interacted with or said a good word about Jews tell us how to live and what to support.
Campfield’s logic is so abysmally wrong. Let’s say that you are against ACA = you should be more likely to die based on a pre-existing condition, based on you heredity.
It sound to me like he has much more in common with the provider of his poorly referenced “train rides”, than supporters of healthcare.
Um, we’re not the ones “missing the point,” dude.
And what is with Republicans lately telling “the Jews” what they should be doing?
“When you have big corporations deciding who gets health insurance and who doesn’t, what services they get and what services they have to provide, they’re really deciding who lives and who dies.”
Fixed it for ya, bozo.
After The Donald is finished with The Blacks.
This dimwit telling the Jews what to think sounds like Cliven telling us “one thing about the negro”.
They come from the planet Xenon.
Dumb means never having to say you’re sorry.
Sir, the point we’re getting is that you’re a wingnut and not a very smart one at that.
Good day, Sir.
GOP lawmaker uses “slippery slope” in his “slippery slope fallacy,” but says we missed the point.
That belongs in a letter to the editor. I am not kidding.
PERFECT.
