http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/republican-people-who-lead-good-lives-should-pay-less-than-those-with-pre-existing-conditions/"Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Monday argued against a health care plan that protects people with pre-existing conditions, insisting people who lead good lives and have done the things to keep their bodies healthy should received reduced costs for healthcare.
Trump vowed to protect people with pre-existing conditions in an interview with Bloomberg News on Monday. I want it to be good for sick people. Its not in its final form right now, the president said. It will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as Obamacare.
Republicans first attempt to pass an Obamacare replacement plan failed in a dramatic fashion in March after moderate Republicans refused to support a bill that didnt include those protections..."
How fucking stupid and heartless can you be? This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start.

(11,119 posts)The Secret is a book that puts forth the theory that people (mostly poor people) somehow deserve the bad things that happen to them. Poor people are poor because they cannot control their impulses and spend their resources on things that don't benefit them like gambling, drink, drugs, etc (never mind the fact that no one can afford to take care of their family on minimum-wage).
But people who are well-to-do financially are that way because God (or the powers that be) likes them and and is blessing them with prosperity. This book was a best-seller for several weeks during the mid-00s, if I remember correctly...
It's total bullshit that allows the prosperous to feel good about themselves (even if they are war criminals) while poor-shaming the less fortunate!
