The Deplorables want to remove emergency room benefits from health care plans

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Let's wrap our melons around that.

You get hit by a freaking car. You're lying prostrate in the street, a bleedy and broken mess, and you have to tell the EMTs not to take you to the emergency room because you lack that coverage.

To come up with such a plan reveals a deranged and depraved mind and betrays concentration camp guard levels of cruelty.

1. but but but...

you can AFFORD the new policy that doesn't cover anything!

[rurallib]

2. very true - you shouldn't expect them to be affordable and actually cover something

where will the insurance company make there profit if that were the case?

[bekkilyn]

3. But think of the positives

Your insurance premium will be $0 instead of $1000 per month because you won't have to buy a policy that won't cover anything anyway! Tremendous!

4. How many dead and dying Deplorables would it take for them to realize

That they have been snookered by the health insurance lobbyists masquerading as right wing mouthpieces? Hannity, Limbaugh, FOX & company......

11. For each one of them it will take a loved one

dying for lack of medical care, their own grandmother being delivered to their driveway to be cared for at home because the nursing home isn't being paid anymore, their own kids being denied treatment for cancer because their crap insurance policy covers nothing and will drop them as soon as the kid becomes ill.

The only thing they care about is their small circle. The rest of the world? Well, those are the people they hate.

I have little sympathy to spare for these people. They went in, eyes wide open and chose this, they're just going to be surprised when it affects them, not just those they deem undeserving.

12. They would still blame Obama.

[Bettie]

13. Of course they will

those who don't get it will blame Obama for things that happen 50 years down the road.

But, I have to think that at least a few of them have enough working brain cells to add 2+2 and get 4. Though, now that I think about it, may be excessively optimistic.

I comfort myself with the knowledge that there are more of us than there are of them.

5. But it will be a great great plan

that will do nothing bigly.

[Scarsdale]

6. Representatives?

Make them give up their taxpayer subsidized healthcare, and force them into this "plan". If it is as great as they claim, why not sign onto it themselves?

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Technically an amendment to the ACA forced them onto it

but there were sneaky provisions that allowed them to (illegally) use the D.C. exchange (with subsidies) or opt out and keep what they had.

7. Freedom! n/t

8. What is wrong with these people?

This is not supposed to happen in a Representative Democracy. Think about it, if we truly had Representative Democracy then this bill would not even be going to a vote with only 17% approval. Why then is it?

It is going to a vote because our Republican politicians no longer represent us, they represent the Plutocrats who will get the big tax cuts! Our system is broken, otherwise we would have never had Trump as a real candidate, much less POTUS!

10. A lot of things on that 10 point list..

are absolutely ridiculous. I am surprised that the Democrats or the media aren't screaming it to the hill the same with NUNEZ running to Trump to tattletale. Nunez should not be on ANY committee the Dems act like they are afraid to say it.

No prescriptions,no emergency rooms,no rehabilitation,etc..I can't remember them all but in essence what they are saying is no health care.

14. I had a hairline fracture of the proximal radius (broken elbow)

The rehab was the most important part of recovery.

17. don't worry! Insurance Corporation was on TV & said free back, neck, knee & arm braces for all!

[Adrahil]

15. These folks do know how insurance works....

.... if insurance does not cover it, then more bills go unpaid. And that money comes from somewhere... like folks who DO have insurance, which means premiums go up.

These idiots have no idea what a risk pool is....

[Sunlei]

16. Local police & fire departments will need a raise to cover their new first response 'job'

They'll need a local place to store the corpses.

18. My husband had robotic surgery a little over 2 months ago to remove cancer from his kidney

The total w/ an overnight stay was between 55-57k. They would be NO WAY to pay that if this bill goes through and he had to have surgery again.

These people are heartless assholes.
