Trump White House: millions more uninsured is not losing, its choosing
Source: Think Progress
A top White House official said Sunday were getting close to having the votes needed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, President Trumps director of legislative affairs Marc Short said a vote could take place soon after the July 4 recess.
We are at the point of scoring two separate bills throughout the course of this recess this week, Short said. So, we hope that we come back the week after recess, well have a vote.

let's be perfectly clear here, these ass**** are running around and saying this:
They reported what CBO says but the CBO credibility should be certainly should be questioned at this point, Short said. Seven million of those people are people that dont exist. Theyre people that is based upon a baseline that CBO put out in 2014, even though the actual number is way down here.
Theres another 7 million people they say will choose to leave the market that they say are losing insurance. Thats not losing, thats choosing, he added.
FU, Marc Short, I mean really FU

So let me get this straight...when we get priced out of the market, when millions lose Medicaid, when your employer based plans once again have lifetime care caps placed back on, and when states are once again allowed to let insurance companies discriminate against those with preexisting conditions...these are all our "choices".
Got it.

Obviously they 'choose' to not get better paying jobs with health benefits.

These men use language to project agency and equality on people who are their victims. They are evil incarnate.

You have 100 bucks at the check-out. Your bill is 125.00. You are choosing not to feed your family.
I hate these fuckers.
