A guest on Thom Hartman's show, Steve Beaman, a repub, said that health care

should be a privilege. If you cannot afford it then you don't get it (in summary). He said it should never be a right and government should not be in the business of providing it. These people have no soul. Thom questioned him about a person being able to access the newer technologies in medicine. His response was that if they cannot afford it, oh well.

is a self serving tool. Started out with an Ad Hominem attack on Thom and went quickly downhill after that.

...eating is a privilege, too.

Would probably tax breathing and circulation if he could find a way to do so.

Health care is a right. Like breathing. These fucking people just hate americans/people. I want to see these choke on their greed and feeling like they are "entitled" because they are the 1%.

Class war wouldn't you say?
