It looks like there has been an organized effort by the liberals to comment on this story and make it sound inhumane to opt out.
Can you go on here and comment as well and try to combat this liberal rhetoric? Any help is appreciated!
If KY chose not to play, I imagine those eligible would be more than happy to move to Illinois, permanently relieving KY of their support costs. That sounds like a big long-term win to me. Even after we kill ObamaCare nationally, I imagine they would stay in Illinois for the friendly political climate.
Love to know how California, Illinois or New York are going to pay for it.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo says that "Americans have a right to accessible and affordable healthcare, and the more we expand coverage to meet that goal, the lower health care costs will be for all of us [...].”
To begin with, no one can have a right to something that someone else has to pay for. The right to your free speech doesn't cost me hard-earned money. You and I will have to get up and go to work and see part of our paychecks taken away from our own families to support someone else's "right."
And to pretend that it will lower health care costs for us is ludicrous. You simply cannot add one million people to Kentucky's already overcrowded health care system and expect costs to drop.
If the good Speaker wants to make us all pay more in taxes and higher insurance premiums and longer waits in the emergency room to provide coverage to the poor, he should just say so. Some people might actually respect his honesty, but pretending that unicorns will change the laws of economics is dishonest. We shouldn't fall for it.
Have at it. Put it in your own words and have fun.
