If he really means that, he's dumber than I thought.
The health-insurance industry loves ObamaCare because they can charge schlubs like me for crap we will never use, like "free" mammograms, substance abuse treatment and other crap for his favored constituents.
What's not (for the insurance industry) to love about jacking up my premiums, leaving me with little recourse and saying that I have to pay for those benefits which I will never, ever use because they are mandated?
Here is the dirty little secret nobody wants to talk about. Access to health care is NOT a right!
If your slothfulness and lack of discipline means you find yourself without health insurance, it’s not my problem. If you later find out that your inattention to your health has resulted in your getting a bad disease, like cancer, that is ALSO not my problem.
Stay healthy. It’s not such a hard concept. And if you think you need health insurance, then, damn it, get a JOB and PAY for it, or get it as part of your compensation.
But don’t make me pay if you refuse to take care of yourself, refuse to work and then find out the hard way that those things have consequences. I do nor make the rules. The wages of sin is death. That’s literally true.
