And yet, in America, an entire news network regularly practices such an act.

I propose the following:
As I think it was inappropriate for Oklahoma to send such an absolute asshole as Tom Coburn to the U.S. Senate, I'd say the same thing to the people of Oklahoma as I'd say to Tom Coburn:
All is forgiven if you don't do it again.

have to pay more for "comparable" insurance under Obamacare. Given the GOPers penchant for misrepresenting things - I'd like to see these people's insurance plan and company examined to see just how good a policy it was. There are some insurers who are more 'into' using "pre-existing" conditions to kill you coverage when you get sick. I'd like to see if their policy is with one of those types of insurers.
Of course, the insurance policies are not comparable. After Obamacare there is no longer termination of coverage for 'pre-existing' conditions. no lifetime caps on various medical conditions. But I wish someone would ask Blackburn for the actual data to examine. I'm sure it's either made up entirely or Bull shit when you look into it.
