CSPAN host asked HCR opponent caller Joseph, "What specifically are you opposed to?"
"Joseph" got flustered started talking about how the bill would send the US into "economic turmoil".

Then "Joseph" cited some poll, but not one single provision in the bill itself. He added he was against Congressmen going against the will of their constituents.

Laughable.

1. he said 'egregious' a lot
the C-span host should have asked him to define egregious.

4. One lady called and said this was a dictatorship..
good Lord, she just watched CONGRESS pass a bill!!! The host then asked her if she was on Medicare and, unsurprisingly, she said yes!

7. She was mad because some Docs won't take her Medicare!?!?
She didn't even know about the push some made in this whole debate to increase Medicare payments to docs.

8. And then this last one.
Lady calls in, she's not a constitutional scholar, but she feels like this is against everything that America stands for. She's being told that she has to buy something that she doesn't want.

Host interrupts: Do you not have health insurance now?

Lady: Well, I have it through my husband...

:nopity:

10. Yes!
And the thing was, she was completely sincere! She kind of lamely finished out that she didn't have it for a lot of years, but then they had to go back to the House...

Ayiyi.

14. He sounds as bright as a woman I heard on their air
yesterday, she was against the bill but admitted she has not had healthcare for 7 years but she wanted this bill killed and for congress to start over. The C-span host asked her why she did not have healthcare; she stated she could not afford it. This bill is for people like her, sad these people really are that ignorant.

16. That's hilarious.



She can't seem to make the association that she went broke during the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime.

It's stupidity like this that gets rethuglicans elected.
