I mean, look at some of the insanity in this interview (which I finally found here:
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/mcconnell-no-medicare-all-long-im-majority-leader [oh, and don't bother looking too hard, as this is one of the wacko right wing sites. But it does have the clip AND quotes McConnell repeatedly, so I'm going to use it to comment on his stupidity] ):
Well that's not much different because if you have a public option, I guarantee you the public option will also drive all the private insurance companies out of business.
Okay, honest truth; outside of "free market wackos" (okay, and the people who work there), would anybody really be sorry to see private insurance companies go out of business?
And that ignores that there are countries with public health care and private insurance, like say... Canada, you fucking dumbass.
So look, this is a prescription for turning America into a western European country.
OMG, NOT A WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRY! The horror! Obviously it'd be much better to turn America into a third world hellhole like some of the corrupt African nations, right Mitch? Or your new bestest country ever, Russia? After all, then YOU'D be rich, and that's really all you care about, isn't it?
Fox News's Bret Baier asked McConnell about the Republican plan for health care:
McConnell said Americans should know that Republicans are "all in favor of covering pre-existing conditions."
... Which is why the plan some of them are currently "working" on says that insurance companies can't reject you for having a pre-existing condition, but doesn't bother to require that they actually COVER that condition...
McConnell said there's no point in bringing a Republican health care plan to a vote right now, with Democrats in control of the House.
You've had control of both the House and the Senate since 2010. What was stopping you THEN, Mitch? Other than the fact that you have no plan, but want to make like Joe McCarthy with his "list of Communist sympathizers" and pretend that you have a FANTASTIC plan hidden in back room somewhere, but no one can ever see it?
Oh, and Mitch? None of this is "full socialism on display".
