It was sarcastic, yes, but no more condescending than your assumption that people who lack insurance do so because they have chosen to.
Reread the post ...I asked him politely why he chose to go without insurance. If he couldn't get insurance due to a pre-existing condition, let him say so. Are you his spokesperson ?

No, but I am another person who has gone without insurance, while working, and not by choice. I have generally heard that question asked in tones of deep disapproval, with the implication that I was simply being irresponsible.
If that was not your intention, I assure you, you have my sincerest apologies.
Well "leftee" (I'm guessing your name is scarcastic), if you've listened to the verbal diarrhea that's come from the republicans in congress over the last few years, you'd know they just want to spend our money going through the process of (not) repealing the ACA. And then do "something". There's actually a good vid reviewing their plans at

My point is simply that not everyone with pre-existing conditions went without health insurance before the ACA. I don't Trump has any intention of removing coverage for those people. He speaks of interstate competition to drive prices down and I'm all for it. Getting rid of lobbyists will help as well as pharmaceutical prices are through the roof. I am self-employed as well and pay a small fortune for a high-deductible plan. Something has to be done ...
Obama's economic policies have obviously failed KY. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why the state voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
Every policy to date has failed Appalachia, why are did they vote for Trump. Say what you want about Obama Care and it does have very large problems, so what is the solution to those lacking healthcare in that area. Medical care in that part of the country borders on 3rd world.
Retraining for both elocution and behavior in the presence of your superiors will be provided.
While I do not support the idea of Trump's America, I promise that I will be fair and just to those of you who end up on my lands.
Georgia is such a poor state, and with the cutbacks to Medicare/Medicaid the GOP is promising, it is only set to suffer more.
If you didn't think you were being bought and sold wholesale by a system you voted for, how do you feel now that it has crossed your mind and troubled you so deeply?
Easy there. You ain't dealing with a bunch of illegal aliens and Black hood rats here, you'd be dealing with Rednecks who WILL probably fight to the death IF your kind tried to chase those people off their land.

I could not agree with you more about that. However, I suspect our solutions would differ, as I favor universal health care. That pretty much solves all of the problems.
In the county they cover in this story, Clay county, 60% of the residents are on Medicaid. 86.6% voted for Trump.
You get what you vote for.
Surely, banning abortion, homosexual rights and Muslims are more important issues to the them than their own health.
