American carnage: GOP admits not everybody is going to have healthcareA leaked document shows the first phase of Republican plans to repeal Obamacare, and the result will be devastating for millions as their health insurance is stripped away and the ban on preexisting conditions effectively destroyed.
By Oliver Willis | February 25, 2017
Politico reports that the draft legislation leaked to them of the GOPs plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would take down the foundation of Obamacare, including the individual mandate that has funded insurance coverage for millions, and subsidies for poor people.
Republicans are already on the record affirming many of the principles in the draft plan. Representative Dennis Ross (R-FL) told Bloomberg, Not everybody is going to have health care some people just dont care enough about their own care.
The draft plan, which is being prepared by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and his team, would also significantly roll back the Medicaid expansion which has covered about 12 million people (in addition to another 10 million people via the Obamacare individual markets).

There it is in plain sight, as unashamedly and evil as one could ever be. To paraphrase:
"IT"S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT IF YOU DON"T HAVE INSURANCE, NOT OURS !"
Has anyone told this asshole to go fuck himself ?
