I can't even stand to watch these people who hate Americans.

This fucker on cnn admitting that as people age, their most financially vulnerable time, will pay up to five times more for health insurance, and sucky health insurance really fucking makes me want to puke my fucking brains out.

I am fucking tuning these monsters out for my sanity. I know not a good thing. But fuck!!

... and I'm listening to Price's townhall.

What the low-info Republicans keep missing is the phrase "access to healthcare insurance" - carefully framed that way in hopes that "access" will be conflated with actual "coverage".

Every American has always had "access" to insurance that covers everything they might ever require - but that "coverage" is wildly unaffordable.

As some have pointed out here, "access" to buying a Ferrari has always existed - being able to afford a Ferrari is another matter.

The GOP keeps framing their pig-in-a-poke healthcare plan in terms of "if you can't afford it, you have chosen not to have coverage". Being unable to afford something is NOT a matter of choice - it is a matter of what is financially feasible.

Dr. Price is an asshole - and he's proving that tonight. The problem is that the low-info idiots who voted for Trump will lap-up his assholery with a spoon.
