Weeding out people with “bad genes” is sort of these bigots endgame.

Yeah, I read it when I was kid, right after The Pokey Little Puppy.

Jesus had the stones to just die when he was crucified and he Rose Again so what’s up with these lazy moochers?

This was one of the most brilliant things about the ACA. Not perfect, and still market-based, but it put forth the idea that any subsequent plan or revision of the plan would have to include pre-existing conditions. This was literally the biggest change from our completely wild, wild west system, before.

It’s all Reagan’s fault. His pre-Dickens worldview that poor folks are poor because they are lazy and shiftless caught on, and now it has spread like a fungus through the body politic. Now, 30 years later, these Ayn Rand cosplayers dominate the political landscape and spread their “just world” hypothesis over…

Even if the fantasy is all we get, it’s still better than nothing, which is what these shitgibbons would like to offer.

Counterpoint:

It’s also a variation on the just world hypothesis.

I don’t know-these assstains only know empathy when it affects them personally.

I can relate, although I’ve shortened it to just “This fucking guy . . . “ Can’t say that it helps that much, but it’s a start.

Jup, because he “deserves” to have health insurance. I am 1000% fucking certain that’s the rethoric he would throw around. It’s the rethoric that EVERYONE with that personality uses. 

Hey - Representative Horror Show. I run 16 miles a week in the woods, I mountain bike, I do yoga, meditation and dance. I’m also a trail guide. I don’t consume dairy or sugar or wheat. I eat a green salad every single blessed night for dinner. Now for the fun part: I have severe asthma, dry eye syndrome, sinusitis…

My life is good, therefore I deserve thing.

Hey - when you’re right, you’re right.

It’s too little too late. Too many people agree that covering people with preexisting conditions is a good thing, even his own voters agree. The Republicans should have been demonizing sick people years ago, so that having a preexisting condition is treated with the same pariah status as a transgender person by their…

Wow. What a fucking turd of a person. I know plenty of people that were healthy and did all of the right things who now find themselves chronically ill. Accidents happen. You have bad genes. It’s expensive to medically treat these problems. But for many with these chronic health conditions, it also means that…

I cannot wait for these old rich powerful assholes to get fucking cancer and die quickly.

Because people who lead “good lives” never get cancer, strokes, ALS, etc. He’s pretty long in the tooth to be tempting fate this way. I would never wish debilitating sickness on anyone, but in his case I’ll make an exception.

So many of my comments in real life and here and elsewhere on the web boil down to “Jesus, look at this fucking asshole right here”, and I mean to one day change that and cleanse myself of this all-consuming hatred, but Jesus, look at this asshole right here.
