Hey, Paul Ryan

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The high risk pools you intend to create are ersatz insurance ghettos for sick people, you piece of shit.

[spiderpig]

1. What on earth is he blathering about now anyway?

Live presser on MSNBC.

[unblock]

2. risk pools are great! in fact, everyone should be in their own, self-funded individual risk pool!

[ProfessorPlum]

10. the GOP dream

[standingtall]

3. Ryan

is an asshole

[Bettie]

4. That's only because he can't get real ghettos for

"undesirables" set up.

Yet.

5. +1, and no one in the M$M has enough minerals to ask if PC insured will be paying more than non PC

[Goodheart]

6. I get so infuriated with these so-called "journalists" who ask lame questions

Where is THE question? As in "Mr. Ryan, why is it so important to yourself to include private insurance companies as the central part of our health care system when the rest of the world has shown us those are unnecessary?"

[panader0]

7. "Insurance ghettos" is a good meme.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Way stations to GOP concentration camps or as Sean Spicer says "holocaust centers."

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. How about "Leper Colonies"?

n/t

8. Doing the right thing and going to a multi-payer system would just be SO much easier.

In fact, it would be the one shining and unusual moment in the modern GOP's 45-year Reign of Rotten . . . a plan which ACTUALLY HELPS PEOPLE.

All the GOP has to do is the right thing. All the GOP has to do is move into the 20th century with the rest of their industrialized nation counterparts. The GOP would be able to make history.

But they're not about leaving a legacy of compassion, unless it's to wealthy folks.

They're about crushing authoritarianism, Social Darwinism and stark, cruel PUNISHMENT. They're not even about advancing conservative political position. They're just about being corporate dictators.

[ProfessorPlum]

12. and cheaper

it seems like the only reason we don't have single payer is that it is a sane, affordable policy.

Can't have that

[HughBeaumont]

13. That and Big Insurance-fattened Lieberturd kiboshed the Public Option.

So yay, let's forget any notion of a public option for the next two decades. God FORBID Holy Joseph's board member constituents in the medical insurance racket have their lives be made even one atom-speck less comfortable.

"It just didn't have the votes" is the problem of the legislators, not the issue.

I seriously cannot believe Lieberturd even has ONE defender on this site. He's half the reason Gore lost to the Failure Fuhrer.

[ProfessorPlum]

15. "It just didn't have the votes"

You've got that exactly right

that argument drives me out of my mind.

[Permanut]

11. Sarah Palin will be all over this, I'm sure..

She just won't stand for any system that allows federal officials to evaluate and decide whether an individual is "worthy of health care." I expect to hear her condemnation any minute now.

[Doreen]

14. He just needs that smug smirk bashed off of his face.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. He lies with greater ease and less regret than Chump.

[Doreen]

19. He is sick and evil.

[Stuart G]

18. Ryan is lower than shit..Those of us that think manure is an outstanding product.....

realize that Ryan is really a rat, a mean vicious rat that is biting everyone and anyone....Now this is not Micky Mouse..or Minnie........

this is a mean vicious rat who thinks only about biting someone really bad..and hurting them...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doreen]

20. Oh, come on, do not compare him with those sweet creatures.

I would compare him to a deadly virus.
