Another RW dope
Earlier today, I had a doctor's appointment. A guy got there at the same time as I did and as we were walking in he said, "Boy if this is global warming, I'd hate to see what happens when it's cold!" He then went on about the forecast conditions for Monday, which is supposed to be record breaking cold, minus 11 for a high. I tried to walk a bit faster so I wouldn't argue with him but the guy just kept on walking and talking. Arrived at the office door and I proceeded to check in. I over heard the guy commenting on a story on the tv, which was about the storm on the east coast. The reporter happened to be in Massachusetts and the guy said, "It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. I was there for a while and there are so many liberals that I wouldn't even talk politics with them."
As I was checking in, the receptionist asked me about my insurance coverage. I proudly told her (a bit loudly) , "I am covered under a policy I purchased on the ACA website. You know, Obamacare!" That set the guy off. He started ranting about how bad "Obamacare" was and how we needed to get government out of the medical business, etc. Except the receptionist actually told me that she's seen a number of people already who are signed up under a plan from Obamacare. I completed some more paperwork, sat down, and waited to be called in. I don't really know what happened to the guy. I do know that after the receptionist made her comment he was fairly quiet and he got called in before I did.
Anyway, it was kind of an annoyance but unfortunately, I think we're sort of getting used to dopes like that. I do know that a doctor's office was neither the right place or time for rants like that.
