In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney. The Most Vile Lie of All. [View all]DhhD
(4,695 posts)The Final Solution was a way of exterminating every member of a society of human beings (Jews) that could not work as slaves. Every baby, child, and adult that could not work over 12 hours a day was exterminated. The unhealthy ones died on the way to the gas chambers. No insurance means no follow up care after going to the emergency room. It takes time to transfer all of your belongings and bank accounts over to the State that you live in so that you can move to Medicaid and get follow up care. Usually it takes 2 months to get an appointment after becoming bankrupt. Becoming bankrupt means selling everything you have, to pay for the initial ER Bills. That is thousands and thousands of dollars. Fastest way is to sign your property over to the State.
No other country in the world treats its citizens like this. Voting for the GOP in the country is destroying it. This is a good example of a Trickle-Up economy.
It is apparent to me, that some of these states that have turned down Medicaid under the ACA are in the business of taking the property and bank accounts of the newly uninsured. Most of these states have GOP governors and mainly TEA Legislators.
Romney is covering for this Trickle-Up with the lie he told.
