Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday called on able-bodied poor people to be removed from Medicaid.
CNN host Jake Tapper noted during an interview on State of the Union that Republican governors had criticized House Speaker Paul Ryans (R-WI) plan to repeal Obamacare because it would reduce funds for Medicaid, leaving millions without medical coverage.
They are saying, by removing the Medicaid expansion that happened during Obamacare, that helped provide insurance to 250,000 Arkansans, this replacement is going to take it away, Tapper explained. Does that concern you?
Cotton declared that many people on Medicaid should be purchasing their own insurance instead.

There are so many it's hard to keep track. They're slithering out of their lairs because Dump is giving them encouragement.

... there are many privileged and self-important sanctimonious and short-sighted know-it-all's who worked diligently against Democrats.
Yeah, that's right... I'm talking about you, Susan Sarandon. Fuck you, Sarandon! Happy now? (She doesn't care, she's white and rich.) #FuckYouSusanSarandon

What a goddamn waste of human flesh. I hope Karma comes around and bites the whole putrid lot of them in the ass--good and hard.

provide insurance nor a salary that pays enough to purchase a policy?
