Jason Chaffetz To Poor: Your iPhone Or Your Doctor

[danielpalos]

If you choose a cell phone over health insurance that's YOUR choice, YOUR problem...not the tax parts'.

ditch the drug war or stop whining about taxes, right wingers.

Nothing to do with idiots making a cell phone a higher priority than health insurance...

the right wing take themselves seriously about economics; the left does not take the right wing seriously about economics.

it about cost; our drug war or lower cost health insurance.

Jason Chaffetz: Poor People Shouldn’t Buy iPhones If They Need Money For Health Care

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee says millions of Americans who might lose health insurance need to “make a choice.”

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is proposing a quick fix for low-income Americans unable to afford coverage under President Donald Trump’s newly proposed health care law: Don’t buy an iPhone.

The American Health Care Act, unveiled by House Republican leaders Monday, offers less financial assistance to low-income people than former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, so it would likely result in millions of Americans losing the health coverage they have today.

But the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said Tuesday that Americans who might struggle to afford insurance under the GOP plan simply need to make the choice to “invest in health care.”

“Americans have choices, and they’ve got to make a choice,” Chaffetz said Tuesday on CNN. “So rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest in their own health care. They’ve got to make those decisions themselves.”

Wow! Just wow! Why would anyone have to choose between healthcare and an iPhone? Most likely those who are on the financial edge don't have a home landline. Are they not supposed to have some form of electronic communication?

They can always get two or three jobs and pay for their own health care.

I'm not interested in paying for anyone's healthcare anymore than I'm interested in paying their rent or paying for their food.

They need to get off their asses and take care of themselves.

why not, "ditch the drug war", to lower taxes?
