Tonight should be a fun night on Politics & A Beer Radio at 8:30 pm
Tune in at: http://tobtr.com/...
The right-wing frenzy over Jonathan Gruber’s ridiculous comments regarding Obamacare continues as the Fox News crowd believes they have found the magic bullet to bring down the President’s health care law that has led to millions obtaining health insurance.
Jonathan Gruber most certainly believes that the American voter is stupid, and the truth is that he is woefully out of touch is really the stupid one. Let’s take his now famous quote:
“If you have a law that makes explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it wouldn’t have passed,”
NEWSFLASH: Jonathan Gruber just described exactly how health has always worked. People pay insurance, and those that get sick get the benefits. What American does not understand this? What American has ever not wanted to have health insurance because “sick people get money.” Nobody.
People get health insurance in case they become sick, they don’t get upset if they stay healthy get it Jonathan? I guess you don’t.
The fact is that the American public does get it, and Jonathan Gruber doesn’t.
And…Is there even one idiot out there that believes the Keystone XL pipeline will reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil? That’s an example of American voters being stupid.
And does Bernie Sanders have a chance a difference in the presidential race?
Tune in tonight !!!
