Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer's embracing young insurance dodgers just a ruse (VIDEO)

I felt my blood pressure rise as I was watching Sean Spicer, Trump's Press Secretary, daily brief today. But his embrace of the millennial insurance dodger to make his point was the last straw.



The party that preaches personal responsibility is now justifying personal irresponsibility to throw our health insurance into chaos.

very well explained and I like the notion that a company should not be profiting off pain which is what it's all about.

The majority of countries now have a universal health care system that treats everyone equally and it works and in the end, costs far less.
And if people want private health insurance let then have it but everyone should be entitled to healthcare not predicated on how much money they have.

My grandfather used to say everyone should, as a right, be able to have a home, a car, a telephone and a right to be cared for if ill. # I'm sure he would have updated his list today

With a serious face, it drives me nut. It's not a difference of opinion it's just an out and out lie. People were paying a hundred bucks A month to be in a aspirin club but if they got sick or needed serious medical care like broken bones they were out of luck.

What is really needed is for someone to call them on their bullshit when it comes out of their mouth not later after everyone has gone to bed in a blog post. This is why fake news gets believed and spread as real news.
