So iphones and healthcare are constitutional rights?
Jason Chaffetz: Poor People Shouldn’t Buy iPhones If They Need Money For Health Care
Then I would say you are a liar. Oh, wait.....No, poor people are expected to make choices like the rest of us.Are poor people not supposed to have a phone? Really?
A poor person who refuses to pay for medical insurance should not be subsidized by the taxpayer when they can afford expensive items like phones, TV's, and other "trendy" items.
How many poor people do you know who have to choose between healthcare and an iPhone? I don't know of any - but I know of poor people who have cheap cellphones as their only method of electronic communication.
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?
Reagan/Bush phones are NOT iPhones!!! They are cheap $5 flip phones.

Anyone that has a phone of any sort should be able to afford to pay for it… People ought not expect other people to pay for their shit.
That is not the point, the point is that Chaffetz is a typical Right-wing idiot to think that poor people buy iPhones! They buy a flip phone that is under $20 and a cheap pay as you go plan, not an expensive smart phone with unlimited data.
It just shows how far out of touch the GOP is with the average Americans they claim to be looking out for.
landlines are much cheaper than cell phones.

You just can't make it up. It's going to take at least 3 terms of a Trump Administration to bring these people back to reality.So iphones and healthcare are constitutional rights?

Don't you know anyone who takes subsidies for Obamacare who owns smartphones? I live in an area of the country that is way off the beaten path. Everyone is poor but they all have smartphones and many of them are subsidized by Obamacare. Drop the "iPhone" nonsense. If you can afford a phone, you can afford healthcare. You simply need to make a choice and prioritize it.
I didn't know iphones were a "need." I thought that fell under the "want" category. Silly me.Are poor people not supposed to have a phone? Really?
I don't own a cellphone. I have a landline with an answering machine. It's called Time Management.landlines are much cheaper than cell phones.

I completely get his point.
Entitlement culture is regressive.
The right just gets lower and lower. FACT is, the Rs are doing what they always do - taking from the poor and giving to the rich. The poor, elderly, vets, handicapped won't be choosing between an expensive pnone and health care. They never have. However, thanks to the right, they will still have to choose between food/rent and healthcare.
And the RWNJ assholes love knowing these people are struggling just to survive.
Rustic Please stop with the "ObamaPhone" lie. It makes you look just as stupid and ignorant as we all know you are.
What a nov

Does your name mean you call yourself a christian? You'd never know it from your hateful posts. Another damn fundie phony.
Yes, phones are a "need". For many, their cellphone is the only phone they have.
The poor don't buy iPhones and you know it.
Personal responsibility is something that confuses liberals. We all have tough choices to make.

iPhones are not a need, but a phone IS considered a need, which is why Reagan started the LifeLine free phone program in the first place. St Ronnie believed every household needed a phone for emergencies at the very least, as well as to secure a job.I didn't know iphones were a "need." I thought that fell under the "want" category. Silly me.Are poor people not supposed to have a phone? Really?
People make decisions about what to spend money on all the time. Discretionary income isn't unlimited, in life you prioritize. Furthermore, Obama got a pass on similar statements it seems:
Chaffetz hit for iPhone vs. health care comment – but Obama made same argument
Chaffetz hit for iPhone vs. health care comment – but Obama made same argument
In a lengthy answer, Obama speculated about someone making $40,000-$50,000 a year, who thinks an insurance option that costs $300 a month is too much.
“I guess what I would say is if you looked at that person’s budget and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone … cell phone bill, other things that they’re spending on, it may turn out that they just haven’t prioritized health care because right now everybody is healthy," he said.
“Nobody actually wants to spend money on health insurance until they get sick,” he added.
