GOP "I've got mine, eff you."

[JuliefromOhio]

More than a decade ago, Arkansas Rep. Josh Miller (R) was in a catastrophic car accident that broke his neck and left him paralyzed. Medicare and Medicaid paid the $1 million bill for his hospitalization and rehabilitation.
The accident that paralyzed Miller occurred about 11 years ago, the Times reported. He was driving with a friend, alcohol was involved, but Miller said he couldn’t remember who was driving. When he arrived at the hospital with his life-changing injuries, he was uninsured.
But this week, as the Arkansas legislature has debated continuing its privatized Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, Miller has remained steadfast in his opposition…
The difference, he said, is that some of the 100,000 people who have gained coverage through Arkansas’s Medicaid expansion don’t work hard enough or just want access to the program so they can purchase and abuse prescription drugs.
“My problem is two things,” Miller said. “One, we are giving it to able-bodied folks who can work … and two, how do we pay for it?”

What a swine. These Pugs never cease to amaze with their selfishness and complete disregard for others.

Ms. Jules,

Very good points, if you give it to just any deadbeat that wants it, there won't be the money to pay for people like himself, injured in a catastrophic car accident that left him unable to pay his medical costs.

We know the Republican "rules" - only Pugs can leech their health care from society after they decline to insure themselves.

Mr. Bugs,

I don't know what pugs think because those cute little short snouted dogs can't talk. But rational people know that the safety net is there for people who can't pay their own way, not for deadbeats looking for handouts.

Stow it. The Republican at issue in this thread confirms Republican hypocrisy beyond doubt.

so your compassion for a paralyzed person is null & fold, as it is the liberal norm....seems you are sooooooooo concerned with all states but Ohio which is in itself in a peril..........your bigotry and racism is rampant.

Chuckles Krauthammer is paralyzed too (the dumbass paralyzed himself in a diving accident).

Being paralyzed does not give GOP wackos a license to be hateful, hypocritical, dishonest swine.

Mr. Bugs,

The person of issue is a US Representative, not a cute little snub nosed dog. Are you sure you're posting to the right thread?

Don't call him a dog. He is only a hateful, hypocritical, dishonest swine.

FYI, the word "swine" is not literal here. Don't call him a pig.

Mr. Bugs,

Have you started drinking a little early tonight. You are the one that is referring to pugs.

Mr. Bugs,

My apologies. I had not realized you had ceded the argument by immediately lowering yourself to ad hominem.

Why you would do that at the beginning of a discussion is beyond me, but it's your reputation.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Mr. Bugs,

What I'm trying to tell you is that people don't always use such words literally...Pugs, swine, etc. And sometimes words have multiple meanings.

But it looks like you can't understand this and I'd have better success trying to explain such things to a dog. Or a real swine.

Aren't you funny. Up until now in this thread people who can't pay their own way and deadbeats were the same people. But this guy is a Republican so I understand your changing your position.

 

[JuliefromOhio]

you calling the working poor deadbeats is beyond disgusting.

He isn't paralyzed now thanks to Medicaid which you normally hate that people use paid by your taxes.

Mr. Italia,

Those that are trying to get something for free, even thought they are able bodied are by definition, deadbeats.

Hope this little bit of reality clears things up for you.

 

[ya-ta-hey]

Ms. Jules,

I am not calling the poor deadbeats. Those that are able bodied, but are now trying to get something for free which they used to work for, are by definition, deadbeats.
