Russell Simmons: ObamaCare Already Saved Thousands, Possibly Millions, of Lives
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | November 21, 2013 | Christian Toto

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..."

Pretty sure this dumbass used to take a helicopter to private meetings with Obama, to “advise” him on black mindset, and tactics to manipulate media.

These liberals are always so happy to spend other people’s money. Why don’t big shot liberals like Russel Simmons put their money where their mouths are? If they like social spending so much, they can always give away their own money. I seriously doubt Mr. Simmons gives that much away.

More meme implantation. This is the result of zer0 requesting
assistance from Hollywood.

You cannot read the comments on any news site without someone praising zer0 for saving America from financial ruin or any myriad of other disasters.

Perception is reality. If enough people read enough of these claims, they will believe them and repeat them.

He’s a hip hop mogul. You know, the alleged musical genre where the stars get offed at early ages at the prime of their careers.

I do recall he is very rich.
With those kind of ideas, he should not have two nickels to rub together, all of his money should be donated to curing the poor
