No, Jason Chaffetz, Paying for Health Care Is Not Like Buying an iPhone

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz set off a social media firestorm Tuesday morning when, during a CNN appearance to stump for the House Republicans' plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, he compared health care spending to the decision to purchase an iPhone.

"You know what, Americans have choices. And they've got to make a choice," he said. "So maybe, rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest in their own health care."

The outrage was immediate.
