So what you are saying is you are a liar....


because you said the republican governor said poor people don't need health insurance because they will die anyway....


but what he actually said was NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THAT... NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT

That's only if you give them a real address and name. It is and always has been a huge problem in any border City.

Have you even read the link in the OP?

well he did say this: “I see plenty of people that die every day in hospitals and they have insurance,” Otter said. “And they’re in the hospital. But they still die.”

Health insurance is not a government problem. Individuals make the choice whether to buy health insurance or their weekly illegal drug supply.

medicare/medicaid has been a "gov't problem" for a very long time.

There is a thread of belief running through the right-wing bible-thumper crowd that people get what they deserve. They just need to pray more.

I believe in at least the second half of the Bible, and also believe 100%
that the only answer to our healthcare problem is a full transfer out
of the private sector to the government and charity sectors.
For-profit corporations should not be administering and pricing our healthcare.
It's time for the U.S. to grow up and follow the example of more mature
nations, who provide stellar examples of how healthcare should be handled.

False, they have 78K without health insurance. I went without health insurance for 4 years. Still went to the doctor when I got sick. Stop lying.

That is funny. Why did the USSR disappear and why do Cubans live in poverty if socialism is so great?

We are all going to dance with the grim reaper. I always get a laugh when I see something titled about how some action can reduce your chance of dying.
