Chris Hayes: "Everyone agrees that patients are at the center of health care. How does it help patients to repeal a tax break for health care CEO's making over 500K a year?
Buddy Carter [ R-Deliverance]: "Look, this plan does not discriminate against any group, against any industry. We're making sure that everyone is treated fairly. … What we wanted to do was to be fair to everyone involved, not to discriminate against any group or any industry."
Yeah but those stinkin' lottery winners aren't going to be suckin' down sweet, sweet Obamacare subsidies anymore.
Oh and also health insurance companies will no longer live under the oppressive burden of non-deductibility of CEO salary amounts above $500K. "How long, O Lord?"
"Are there no prisons?"
"Plenty of prisons…"
"And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"Both very busy, sir…"
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
“So we’re choosing instead to look at what we think is more important to ordinary people: Can they afford to go to the doctor? And we are convinced it will be possible for more people to get better care at the doctor under this this plan than it was under Obamacare.”
