They Just Say Stuff Like This to Piss Me Off
Okay, so it doesn’t look like they can repeal Obamacare and that’s great news.
However, it’s sumbitches like this who are shivers just looking for a spine to run up. If you are concerned that your pre-existing condition will jack your insurance rates up to $25,700 a year, there is a solution – move.
“People can go to the state that they want to live in,” Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) told reporters Tuesday morning when asked if people with pre-existing conditions could be charged much more under the American Health Care Act.
“States have all kinds of different policies and there are disparities among states for many things: driving restrictions, alcohol, whatever,” he continued. “We’re putting choices back in the hands of the states. That’s what Jeffersonian democracy provides for.”
Pittenger is the the wealthiest member of the North Carolina delegation, hoarding in at $14.1 million.
I hope that money cushions his fall into hell.
Thank you to Sarah for the heads up.
