| Wow. Rehberg's letter was something, wasn't it?
This is what gets me:
The scope of the problem is how to insure the group of 8 million individuals who make less than $50,000 a year, but more than their state's threshold to qualify for assistance through Medicaid or similar programs.
Unbelievable. Apparently Rehberg believes the only thing wrong with health care and health insurance in this country is that 8 million people - roughly about 1 in every 50 Americans - can't afford insurance, and can't get public assistance.
Those of you who find that spiraling health insurance premiums are taking ever bigger chunks out of your income, you don't have a problem, according to Rehberg. So shut up.
Those of you who punctually wrote out a check every month to your insurer, only to have them deny a claim on some technicality, what are you complaining about? You don't really have a problem. So shut up. And if you went bankrupt from the out-of-pocket expenditures, that's not a problem either. Shut up.
Those of you who were denied coverage from an insurer because you have a pre-existing condition - like maybe your age - there's no problem here. Shut up.
You reading this right now at some desk at a job you can't stand, working for some idiot, and using only a fraction of your brain, because your kids need insurance, and you can't start that business you wanted because you can't afford insurance that isn't subsidized by your employer... you, especially, should shut the f*ck up.
I mean, why would Dennis Rehberg care about health insurance reform anyway? There's nothing wrong with private health insurance! And Rehberg would know, too, because he enjoys such good coverage! Only...er...it's really publicly subsidized insurance....
Isn't it funny that the only people who seem satisfied with their health insurance are those that are politically motivated to say so? Love this comment from GOP-lovin' troll MTSentinel: "You can mock all you want, but Rehberg speaks for more Montanans than you think. Might want to get out of Missoula and read something other than MT Democrat Talkers."
You really think Rehberg telling folks that they really don't have a problem with health care is going to resonate with people? Apparently the health care crisis must be psychological. Shades of Phil Gramm, eh? |
