Jason Chaffetz To Poor: Your iPhone Or Your Doctor

[Bruce_T_Laney]

Are poor people not supposed to have a phone? Really?

Why should you have a iPhone while you are sucking off the government tit!?!

A flip phone can allow you to text and call and anything more is a luxury...

 

[edthecynic]

Poor people DON'T have iPhones!!!!! The cheapest one is about $500. If the poor have any kind of cell phone it is probably a flip phone or a BushPhone.

TRAC phones from Rite Aid. And they never have any minutes.

How much are "minutes" - about $10 a month?

You can buy as many as you can afford. $10 would maybe get you an hour or two. I think the government phones people refer to have an hour's worth of service per month. They are supposed to be for emergencies, like calling the doctor if the kids are sick, or something like that.

Current Obamaphones have 350 minutes of talk,unlimited text and 500 MB of data a month

That just started under Tramp, so it is TrumpPhones that have the plan you cite. Obama phones had 125 rollover minutes or 250 non-rollover minutes/month, neither plan included data.

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?

He only said it because obama said it first.....
Rush played the audio of a video where obama says that if people can't afford insurance then they are not prioritizing it over having cable....

So complain about obama first...

As is typical of a paid professional liar like your MessiahRushie, Obama and pathological liar Chaffetz are talking about two different groups of people. Chaffetz is talking about people who had their health care subsidies cut under TrumpCare and Obama was talking about individuals earning $40k to $50k who do not qualify for ACA subsidies.

Exactly. This is what the Rs and RWNJs have wanted all along. They never pass up an opportunity to harm the poor.

And, drumpf proved he feels the same with his lies to coal miners about getting their jobs back when all he did was let his 1% cronies poison their water.

Chaffetz is absolutely correct. Why should other people have to work hard and defer consumer discretionary purchases just to pay the taxes so that "The Poor" (many of whom do not work) can have all the electronic goodies they desire plus free health care.

It's time to treat health care as another consumer purchase in order to consumers to understand the cost. Perhaps if they do, they'll have more of an incentive to take care of themselves.

Link to what!?!

Did you read Lakhota question!?!

He ask about being allow to have a phone and I answered his stupid question.

So if you want a link to something then read the question I was answering!

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

So the op'er ask the asinine question about how people having a phone and then thank someone for asking for a link.

You have a choice with what type of phone you can own and if you need health insurance and the choice is your iPhone or your insurance which one will you pay for!?!

The op'er believe you should have both at the expense of the taxpayer, and my opinion is you can have a flip phone instead while you pay for your own damn insurance.

 

[Rustic]

Millions of Americans that cannot afford iPhones still buy iPhones, socialism allows people to live outside their means...

No, that would be capitalism.

No, socialism depends on other people to pay for your shit… Fact

Here's a vid of Hillary caught lying to a coal miner....



Here's one of Trump working towards keeping his promise....

 

[Luddly Neddite]

This is so typical of the crap we get from RWNJs. If they can find a way to hurt people, they're always in favor of it.

Remember when these morons actually agreed with some idiot R who said people aren't poor because they've got a refrigerator.

Nasty people.

So....if you can't afford insurance you expect someone else to pay for it....while you have a 600 dollar I-phone?.......that is insane.....

I should revise the spelling of Lemocrats (Lemmings) to Lemmecrats. Lemme have what I want while you pay for it. I'm a Lemmecrat!

Book of Jeremiah
Since 2aguy always runs away after he lies, how about YOU show where anyone said you have to pay for what others have or where anyone said you should have to pay for their insurance while they buy a 600 dollar iPhone.

IOW, stop lying.

Its always the same with you RWNJ traitors. You love Pooting and you love fetuses but children, elderly, vets, disabled, people who need a leg up or help to get back on their feet - you just can't wait to shit all over them. In fact, on this board, that's how we can tell you're a "christian".

Hillary isn't prez.

drumpf lied. And then that bastard had the nerve to hand one pen to the SEVEN of them. Just like when he said he helps vets but actually only sent them a bumper sticker.

You RWNJ traitors defend the indefensible.

I do not love Putin, I do love the unborn, children, elderly, disabled people and healthy people. The rest of your comments are nothing more than false accusations because you are in a bad mood today. This too shall pass.........

As for others expect being expected to pick up the tab for the Lemmecrats?

I never said that, but a basic phone doesn't cost over 500 bucks

My Jitterbug cell phone: less than $100 to buy it and only $28 a month to use it. Fantastic phone with great customer service.

He said "rather than spend hundreds of dollars on that new smart phone they want they need to think about investing in their health care". It seems like good advice until CNN spins it into fake news.

If you believe that you're an idiot. Spend an afternoon in a grocery store in Compton. You can sit there and watch people on their newest version Iphones wearing Air Jordans while handing the cashier food stamps. Maybe follow them out to the parking lot and watch them load up all the groceries you paid for into their late model car with 20" wheels and low profile tires.
