MSNBC's Harris-Perry Mocks People Who Lost Insurance: Suggests Dems Say 'Just Deal With That'

On the Sunday, April 20, Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC, as host Harris-Perry chastised Democrats for not bragging about ObamaCare for the year's midterm elections, she at one point mocked Americans angry about having their health insurance plans cancelled, which she referred to as "crappy plans," as she lamented that Democrats are not boasting about ObamaCare or declaring, "Yeah, you can't keep your crappy plans. Just deal with that!"

Her mockery of the ObamaCare-induced insurance cancellations came as she compared Republicans to people who flip houses and brag about doing only a little work, as she characterized Democrats, by contrast, as people who do substantial work on houses but fail to boast about it adequately to potential buyers. Harris-Perry:

She will never admit it, she will blame the insurance company if that happens.

Sure, another let-them-eat-cake moment like when the "if you like your doctor/plan" lie was busted will really help the Dems. (Wow; maybe MHP is really a conservative trying to get Dems to shoot themselves in the foot, eh? </sarcasm>)

I hope the Dems follow her advice...and I hope every Conservative running for office ties MHP’s words around the neck of every Demo opponent.

Make it so Number One!

What an idiot! Even Obama changed his mind and said “You can keep your crappy plans.”

Unfortunately, she’s not wrong about democrat voters. Democrat voters who lost their insurance will still vote for democrats.

[”Yeah, you can't keep your crappy plans. Just deal with that!”]

What's going to be harder to deal with are the even “crappier” ObamaCare plans. Even if a family or individual gets a 100 percent subsidized policy they still face a deductible of $6,000 or $8,000 and the search for a doctor or clinic that will deal with them. I hope the ACA contains some subsidies for local emergency rooms because that's where many ObamaCare clients will go.

Sounds like something that would be said by one of Hitler’s or Stalin’s people.

Melissa Harris-Perry, once again answering the question, “can a person actually be too dumb for TV?”

If I owned a small house, nothing fancy, but something that I could afford and I was happy with. But then the government came by and declared that my little house was substandard, 'crappy' if you will, and proceeded to kick me out and buy a larger, more expensive house - a house approed by the government, maybe a house that I couldn't afford. I guess this elitist, Democrat-talking-point-moron would be all in favor of that.

Isn’t that what happened with the Community Re Investment Act created during Carter Admin, then promoted by Clinton Admin...and finally caused the 2007 housing crisis crash by all the foreclosures?

Normally I don’t like to rag on someone with an impediment, but this POS commie is fair game based on the vitriol she spews out. She is bad JuJu.

If Bammy is smart (rolls eyes) he will make a special effort to reel in these people and tell them to stop making inflammatory statements.

Of course, as someone stated upthread...she doesn’t have much of an audience.

And Bammy Eat your Peas ain’t too smart, either.

“MHP, you ignorant slut!”

Hardcore leftists like this one see the people (other than their own) who already had insurance as oppressors, and when someone loses their insurance, they see it as “social justice.”

Nothing more that a class-warfare whore.
