As he took a victory lap over Trump’s announcement to leave the pact, Bolton couldn’t help but weigh in on the state of healthcare — an issue which, last we checked, does not even remotely fall under his jurisdiction.

“I think it’s one of the most consequential decisions of the Trump administration, so far at least,” Bolton said. “And it reverses one of the two most important things that Obama did, both colossal mistakes: This deal with Iran, and Obamacare.”

Bolton went on to express his hope that Obamacare eventually meets a similar fate as the Iran nuclear agreement.

“I wish we could reverse Obamacare as decisively as the president acted today on the Iran deal,” Bolton said.

4. Bolton is so genuinely nasty, I picture him eating infants for breakfast...

Nothing would surprise me. Devoid of any human decency.

[MBS]

8. He is a seriously warped (and unfortunately also dangerous) man.

Bolton and Trump are the worst of the worst, but their evil permeates the entire so-called "administration." The lies, the vandalism, the incompetence, the corruption, and, above all, the cruelty. Always the cruelty.
This is not my country.

[forgotmylogin]

11. Just another sign

he's a monster. Or, to be more technically accurate, a sociopath.

Sees his fellow humans--at least those not in the upper ranks of the pukes and neocons--as ants with no value other than to serve as cannon fodder or targets in his warmongering schemes.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Since when does the NSA publicly opine on health care?

Asshole.

[Clarity2]

28. Exactly

Its not what he was hired to focus or comment on. Should stay in his own f’ing lane.

14. When I say

Obamacare saved my daughter's life I am not exaggerating at all. She was taking classes to become an EMT and working 30 hours or less at a family one pizza shop. Before that she worked at Game Stop. She could not get a job with insurance or even a health savings account. I was concerned by her lack of insurance but she had always been healthy so I was not frantic.

As soon as she was allowed to she signed up for insurance through the Affordable Health Care Act. Passed her EMT license test and was volunteering at our local fire station. She got a 2 week trial with a local ambulance company the money was not great but they did have benefits. After she had difficulty lifting a heavy patient they opted to not hire her. She was shocked because she never had any problem lifting before this. She shrugged it off and attended the fire academy. She was doing very well but noticed she was having terrible pain when she had her period. One night she was in so much pain we went to the ER they admitted her and it turned out she had Crohn's disease. I was so grateful because she would have toughed it out if she did not have insurance.

A mere 2 weeks later I raced her back in to the ER. Her intestine had perforated and she needed emergency surgery. If she did not have Obamacare she would have delayed going in because of the fear of not being able to pay. Not only was her life saved, she was able to find a job with benefits and is able to be a productive member of society. It does not pay great but she lives at home so she can save up a 'nest egg' Her brother is only allowed to be on our insurance for one more year. He also has Crohn's and the cuts to Obamacare may force him to try for disability so he can have medicare he would rather have a job but the cuts to Obamacare are pushing him into a corner. The GOP is so shortsighted they fail to see how many programs help people who want to work be able to work and their draconian measures prevent people from being able to work.

16. I hope Bolton gets a malignant form of cancer that kills him quickly

I know it’s a terrible thing to say but the world would be a better place with him frying in hell.

[dalton99a]

17. +1. Your sentiment is shared by countless millions.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I prefer a slow, long, extremely painful disease

That no one can diagnose so there is not treatment or cure and I hope he won't be given any painkillers from his doctors since they want to stop the opioid crisis.

[Javaman]

21. all I have to say is...

one day john asshole bolton will die just like the rest of us.

[Nitram]

22. Yes, John, and we hope you get screwed by Trump the way he is screwing the country.

[Le Gaucher]

23. if you republicans dont want it - dont get it .

And oh ..Go die when you get sick

[KWR65]

25. There is nothing more satisfying to a Republican then to let sick people die.

So that greedy people can buy $500M mansions.

[dameatball]

26. I was going to criticize Bolton, but I see my help is not needed here.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Understandable, the number of people who can be killed or lives ruined by ending ACA

would make a murderer like him giddy.

[rainy]

29. Sounds like a hate thing

Rather than a “what’s good for the country” thing. What a hateful destructive heartless man.

[Vinca]

30. Bolton is like the Grim Reaper only with less of a heart.

[truthisfreedom]

31. If wishes were horses,
