can kill people. This is the same asshole that said automotive workers made too much money. He's a damned millonaire and he begrudges hard working people their benefits. He can pay for his healthcare out of his pocket or worse he can rely on the tax payer funded exchange congress is in. I hate this type of elitist, selfish snobbery. Sadly the folks from his home state just keep voting to screw themselves.
