Memo to all of you liberals, there's no such thing as free. That's why many of us like to go out and get a J.O.B., and show up regularly, do work, and continue to do so until we get old enough to retire, then can go on medicare.

To say redneck implies white, in this case, a negative way. To say someone is stupid because they are a redneck from Kentucky is just as bad as calling someone a blackneck or a redskin. But to say they are stupid because of it is really hurtful to some, and no, it's not true. It's 100% attitude, usually based on fear, and it's 100% wrong.
You don't read so good, do you? He never said they're stupid because they're from Kentucky - he said they're stupid because they voted to take away their own health insurance. Is it really that hard?

Not really. The point is voters don't realize what issues effect them until they do. That was my point and it isn't specific to any single state.

My apologies to your mother and to all educated people from Appalachia. My ire was not directed at them, but at the willfully ignorant people in those states who voted for the very people who told them they were going to take their healthcare away from them, merely because they had an (R) after their name. And who, as a result of their ignorance, are going to cost me and millions of other Americans access to health insurance, many of whom will undoubtedly die as a result.

I would be fine if only the idiots who voted for Trump lost their insurance, because that's exactly what they voted for and what they should get. It's just sad that the rest of us have to suffer for their ignorance.

LOL... trump could offer free health care and the Dems would have an issue with it only because it was Trump who proposed it.

But he isn't. He flip flops more than one of those Chance Time Warp flat rides at various amusement parks.

So liberals don't work?

It's funny how all those non-working liberal fruit cakes are busy creating a lot if jobs in California.

I like that I can buy something but I dislike what I can buy. I don't qualify for subsidies so this is a neutral review.

Forgot to mention the elimination of lifetime maximums. I am really worried about this. What if you have survived something serious and are left with a chronic condition?
