Oh, this should change the minds of the majority of Americans who are opposed to socialized medicine.
In 2006 Michael Steele confessed to going a few years without health insurance for himself and his family while he was self employed. He made a joke about telling his kids not to break anything because “Daddy can’t afford to fix it.”
So, you ask? Yeah, me too. So?
Steele, presumably, now has insurance, so his family doesn’t have to be quite so careful. Yet in an internal memo obtained by HuffPo, the RNC says it will “engage in every activity” to slow down a proposal that could give insurance to people who currently have to hope their kids don’t “break anything” because they “can’t afford to fix it.”
And from a commenter on the post who is presumably in favor of socialized medicine:
I swear if the Dems. don’t beat the drum on this one I’m going to loose my mind! This is just too EASY!
Your last paragraph nailed exactly what they need to say.
Too easy, huh? How about “Honey, don’t get sick because if you do you’ll be dead by the time you get to see a specialist. So will our neighbors to the north when they have no place left to turn.”
Broke is better than dead! You can recover from bankruptcy.
