Republican Blurts Out That Sick People Don’t Deserve Affordable Care

[Northerner]

Republicans usually defend their health care position with an array of buzzwords like choice, patient-centric, or competition. In a CNN interview, Representative Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, makes the case for Trumpcare in much starker terms: it will free healthy people from having to pay the cost of the sick. “It will allow insurance companies to require people who have higher health care costs to contribute more to the insurance pool that helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives, they’re healthy, they’ve done the things to keep their bodies healthy,” explained Brooks, “And right now, those are the people who have done things the right way that are seeing their costs skyrocketing.”

He may well live to regret his words after all anyone can become ill, whether they lead a healthy lifestyle or not.

Exactly. I wonder if he is as healthy as I was the week before my diagnosis - all trained up to run a marathon? I very much doubt it 🙄

I bet he was nowhere near as healthy.

He can afford to get sick, but he'd better have a better speech than that at the pearly gates if he doesn't want the down elevator.
