re: #195 Decatur Deb

She’s a human, so we wish her well. Also true of asshole Sheriff Mack, who resisted Obamacare so effectively that he is begging for cash to cover his and wife’s medical bills.

Get well soon, y’all.

Just saw that one a few minutes ago. I really wish that these people recover, but WTF did you think was going to happen?

It’s just absolutely insane. I can’t imagine what the thought process was:

1) I will only purchase health insurance in a non-ACA environment, in which it is significantly more expensive, and I run the risk of being refused a policy due to a preexisting condition.

2) These people think that they are going to charity their way out of this hole, like they’re doing now. Which again brings up the whole hypocrisy of the conservative attitude for asking for help: look down their noses at people who seek assistance, until they’re the ones doing it.

3) Go in with the attitude of that’ll never happen to them.

This is why Republicans, as a whole, are become rapidly unfit to help run this country, practically at any level. Their take on big picture issues like healthcare border on naive and childish.
