Someone needs to enroll him in an analogy class and remind him what his job should be.

... with all their talk of compromise and big tents:

The GOP is the enemy. That's how we should be treating them. Because that's what they are.

to exercise or eat right. Now maybe I'm wrong, but look for yourself . . . .

We all have the responsibility to take care of our bodies as well as we can. We need to do that for our families and friends as well as for ourselves. But we can't help it if we try to develop healthy lifestyles and still have diseases and illnesses. The tendency to get a particular disease can be genetic. It can be an accident of birth. And sometimes it just so happens that we have a condition or disease that turns out to be very expensive.

What a horrible person this man is. Just horrible.

that are fearful of losing their commission (and they will) because of Obama care. The hell of it is if a Democrat would have made such a statement that was so degrading that person would have been called on to resign. Now there are idiot Republicans right here in my county that would not sign up for Obama Care if the premiums were free and with no deductibles..
That how these Tea Baggers think. I mentioned to a Republican the other morning .. "stop listening to all these rumors and go to healthcare.gov and get the facts"...His reply was I don't want to know the facts.
This so called insurance commissioner should in fact lose his job because he should be explaining the facts about ACA instead of using these right wing Tea Bagger talking points to mislead people...But they were insurance salesmen and he told them what they wanted to hear.
