Poor people dont want health care just like Jesus said: GOP Rep justifies killing Medicaid

[still_one]

"Rep. Roger Marshall (R-KS) thinks that there is a segment of the population that doesn’t want health care and he doesn’t want to have to pay for them.

According to an interview with STAT News, the Kansas doctor explained that the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare helps the poor but most of those people just don’t want healthcare.

“Just like Jesus said, ‘The poor will always be with us,’” he explained. “There is a group of people that just don’t want health care and aren’t going to take care of themselves.”

When pressed to clarify he simply “shrugged” and explained that the “Medicaid population” is on a “free credit card, as a group” and that those people don’t take care of themselves so they’ll end up costing taxpayers more money.

“So there’s a group of people that even with unlimited access to health care are only going to use the emergency room when their arm is chopped off or when their pneumonia is so bad they get brought [into] the ER,” he said."

3. I really despise these asses

5. Stunning in their

contempt for the poor and less fortunate.

10. Then they'll continue to use the emergency room.

If they don't use preventive care, then we don't incur the cost for that.

2. WOW!!!

4. He should be stripped

of his license to practice medicine.

7. yes he should

6. Any statment from a politician that starts with...

..."Just like Jesus said," is immediately suspect before you read/listen any further.

This idiot is a goddamned doctor, fer crissake. An obstetrician, no less, caring for women at one of their most vulnerable times of life. I wouldn't want someone as heartless as he obviously is to get anywhere near me. He must have taken the Hypocritic Oath rather than the Hippocratic.

I would like to see the statistics on which he bases his vile statement.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. That statement is all about black people

[Demsrule86]

9. What this guy doesn't understand is that he just insulted many of his constituents.

[still_one]

11. and I hope they are aware, and that jerk is challenged

[surrealAmerican]

12. If they really don't want health care...

... it won't cost much to insure them.

Of coarse, this is a self-serving lie, so that hardly matters.
