To the average American, ObamaCare is part web site disaster, part shattered campaign promise writ very, very large.
Millions of Americans have already been forced out of their existing health care policies, a number that may skyrocket in the new year.
Russell Simmons sees it differently.
The hip-hop mogul says ObamaCare is already so successful it's saved thousands, if not millions of lives.
"Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives. So, let us not give up now."
Simmons blasted the 39 house Democrats who voted in favor of tweaking ObamaCare, but he saved his harshest words for the GOP in toto.
"I know where Republicans stand. They have voted 47 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so their stance is clear. If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t pay for your medical expenses, declare bankruptcy. If you have a pre-existing condition, they’ll send you a get well card when you’re on your death-bed. Whatever President Obama stands for, they stand for the opposite..."

Sheesh. I thought ObamaCare had already saved billions of lives.
“…..they’ll send you a get well card when you’re on your death-bed.”
I never once agreed to sending anyone a get well card!! Has anyone seen the rising cost of postage??
The CPUSA and fellow travelers
Well, greeting cards are 2-for-a-dollar at the dollar stores, so that counterbalances it.
The death rate in the US is about 2.5 million per year (a little under 1%). So about 8 million people would normally have died in the 3+ years since it has been passed. For “millions” to have been saved that means at least 2 of those 8 million who would have died have been saved by Obama’s healing touch. Is the left f)#@$() nuts?
Why stop at millions? How about billions?
Well, I’d be willing to send you one, but I ain’t going to send ‘em to real strange strangers. ;>)
I thought his wife was Asian
He is a very wealthy man who is not going to be affected by Obamacare so he just regurgitates the lies about it.
Ignoramus.
His wife is now his ex wife. She is Asian.
I thought the policies do not become effective until January 01, 2014.
How could these policies save lives in 2013?
Same thought process as giving Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for future actions that will bring peace.
Great catch!
hahahahaha... all i could do was laugh when i read what he said... what a maroon... how do these idiots make it in the entertainment industry? he is filthy rich and an obvious idiot...
yes--Kimora Lee... i like her... in a shallow sense...
- Maybe a little blow
