103. Right.
I complained about all the people without insurance. I said it was reprehensible that conservatives expect them to suffer and die or to lose their homes. I said the reform law is flawed but at least it gets rid of preexisting illness exclusions which might prevent me and others from being treated for asthma. I pointed out that untreated asthma makes me suffer and could kill me. I pointed out that I friend (a DUer) has it worse, lost her insurance and that since she is nonproductive his philosophy is that "Atlas should just shrug her off and let her die." His response was what I quoted and then he later added that reformers have a sense of entitlement because they want others to pay for their medical care.
