Paul Ryan Insists 22 Million Will Choose To Not Buy Health Insurance




During an interview with Fox News, House Speaker Paul Ryan insisted that the Republican healthcare plan wasn’t going to kick people off their insurance. Instead, Ryan suggested that 22 million would simply make the “choice” to not buy health insurance. This man is delusional. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

instead of spending it on health insurance like responsible people of the upper middle class.

I will not believe in justice until I see him arguing with the Koch brothers over a piece of mildewed pizza from a dumpster.

So if a person making $25K a year doesn't buy health insurance that costs $15K a year, I guess that person has chosen to have a home or food instead. Here in America you should be able to make that choice, right?

Asshole.

Actually, I choose to eat rather than buy health insurance. My free market choice.

The Democrats should be able to slam the republicans with this bullshit.
