On Jay Leno: Romney offers nothing for uninsured

[wyldwolf]

Jay Leno pushed Mitt Romney last night "to explain what he would offer Americans with pre-existing medical conditions so that they might retain their coverage, perhaps the most popular provision of the president's health care law," NBC News reports.

Romeny: "People with pre-existing conditions, as long as they have been insured before, they are going to be able to continue to have insurance."

Leno: "Suppose they haven't been insured."

Romney: "If they are 45 years old and they show up and say I want insurance because I have heart disease, it's like, 'Hey guys. We can't play the game like that. You've got to get insurance when you are well and then if you get ill, you are going to be covered.'"

[CAPHAVOC]

1. If Romney

Gets the votes of the people who have self-interest in his election. Obama should win with 99% of the vote.

2. Unfortunately, most Republican voters are too ignorant and/or misinformed...

...to know they're voting against themselves.

That's the genius of the GOP and its think tanks - keep the people ignorant and misinformed.

4. hey Romeny

The hospital cant legally turn you away. So you go bankrupt and everyone else is stuck with the bill. See, that's "the game" we are already playing. Either get health insurance for everyone, or tell people they cant go to the doctor if they are poor.

your call buddy

5. He seemed to have brought his own cheering section

When he started out with how he would repeal "Obamacare" immediately upon entering office, a rousing cheer went up.

But I was impressed with Leno in that he actually asked him proper counterpoints. EVEN JAY LENO IS MORE HARD HITTING THAN MSM NEWS SHOWS! Mitt started stumbling and repeating himself when he was asked what he would replace it with and how it would work.

7. Leno's guests are announced in advance of his show, so his supporters grabbed up the tickets. n/t

6. If they are 65 years old and they show up and say I want your vote and I'm offering you nothing,

it's like, 'Hey Mitt. Fuck you."

8. In other words, survival of the fittest requires thinning the herd

If you're a wolf with big teeth, you're fine. If you're an antelope that was born with a deformity, caught a disease, or broke a leg, you're fucked. That's the modern Randian view of human "civilization".
