Mitch McConnell says 30 million uninsured is not the issue...

[kentuck]

Huh?!

How could 30 million people with no insurance not be an issue?

He says, "The question is how to go step by step to improve the American health care system. It is already the finest health care system in the world."

In other words, if we have 30 million people in the middle of a lake drowning, we will send out a small row boat and save them one at a time? And if it was the best healthcare system in the world, we wouldn't have 30 million people blocked from using the system. He is a bald-face liar, totally out of touch with reality, and has spent way too much time in Washington.

He offers no solutions. He just wants to repeal what has been passed by a Democratic President and Congress and upheld by a conservative Supreme Court. Because 30 million people don't matter...

1. Of course it's not an issue with him.

He has the Cadillac of health insurance policies and that's all that matters to him. To hell with the rest of the Americans. That man is so disgusting.

[NightWatcher]

2. No it's not the best health care in the world

These people need to get out more.

[Ruby the Liberal]

6. From a technology/training perspective, it probably is.

Unfortunately, that is pretty well meaningless if only some can afford to use it.

9. It's the best money can buy. It's just not accessible to all.

To the rich, to most politicians and their families and the constituents they CARE about, the cost isn't much of an issue.

They don't measure "best" using the concept of accessibility.

They aren't wired that way.

3. Mitch.....Mitch.....Mitch.....Yes, it IS the issue!

30 million people with no insurance is EXACTLY the issue.

(Remember, many Americans are NOT going to accept your drifting off onto another subject of your choosing. Only YOUR base will do that.) We have seen that tactic too many times to give it (or you) any credibility.

[DBoon]

4. of course they aren't the issue to him

They are not large campaign donors


If Mitch had his way, he'd make sure they weren't even allowed to vote

[Politicalboi]

5. Wait, What?

But my Repuke brother says people from Canada come here for medical treatment. We have the "best" don't we?
Maybe by November those 30 million "Obama" voters will die is what they are hoping for.

7. What he means (in terms of your analogy)

We would go out and pick them up one by one in a shiny new high powered racing boat - and since the wake would drown half of them, we could get the job done that much faster.

[TBF]

8. Best health care in the world for the top 1% -

and that is all he cares about.

[spanone]

10. i'm sure he's seen to it that every person in kentucky has lifetime healthcare.dental and vision too

i'm sure ...

[elleng]

11. I've noted elsewhere, 'to improve the American health care system'

really means get rid of insurance and go to MEDICARE FOR ALL. Without such, and even w ACA, our non-system will continue to deteriorate, insurance companies taking their 'share,' colluding with providers like pharmaceutical cos, doctors and hospitals. This will simply ruin us.

12. $$$$$ is the issue

Two of McConnell's top campaign contributors are in the health insurance field, Kindred Healthcare and Humana Inc.

[malaise]

13. The issue according to this scumbag ReTHUG is that his only job is

to make Obama fail and they could not make him fail.

Fuck you Mitch the chinless.

[Beartracks]

14. Mitch: while the health care is excellent, the delivery system sucks.

How can anyone think a health care system that leaves 30 million people out is "the finest in the world"?

You'd have to pretty ignorant to make that claim.
