Yesterday, I saw a CNN segment in which Martin Savidge interviewed Battle Creek, MI voters. Savidge asked them about the GOP plan to replace O-care. (I wish the video were on CNN's site, but it's not, at least not yet.)
Among the things he asked was, "Do you know anything about the details of the new GOP health insurance plan?" To a person, their answer was "no," yet they all had an opinion about it. Each of them based their views on the proposed bill on what they "felt" it would be like and do. Are they f*cking serious? I know they were because why wouldn't they be!
I liked to have fallen over! "No?" WTF? How the hell can one deign to have an opinion about a piece of legislation about which one doesn't know anything? Each of them remarked that health insurance is in the news so much that they are sick of hearing it and just tune out. What?!? And presumably these people vote! I'm sorry, but that truly scares me. How can someone get on national television and openly express an opinion on a topic about which one knows not Jack Sh*t?
Just what kind of "sheeple" did Savidge find to interview? How many similar people are there in the U.S. and voting?
Anyway, just in case there is someone here who hasn't already read the text of the GOP O-care replacement, one'll find it attached to this post. It's not a long document. Take the time to read it. If you're going to have something to say about the bill, at least know what the hell it says. Don't rely on the "Cliff Notes."
