        Let's not forget that Walsh owed $100+K in child support, so he doesn't even feel obligated to pay for his kids.

        At least is honest unlike @SpeakerRyan who shares the same view but want us to think different. GOP policy in essence=Everyman for himself

        They are supposedly thinking like businesspeople, but the Freedom Caucus does not understand the idea of insurance.

        Yes. One can only wonder what sort of moral compass & faith background motivated such a callous comment. Not the I values I was raised with.

        These people don't get that everyone pays for uncollectable ER visits and hospitalizations. Or that they don't pay full freight themselves.

        I disagree. Appealing to emotions is powerful but doesn't determine if policy is bad or good. Tone deaf replies r lame but not core problem

        Unless you are saying the problem is fixation on the emotional desire to repeal "Obamacare" rather than reasoned thought to improve policy.

        Most metster stories of my friends usually will rely on "don't want my kids to grow up w/out a Mom". This is stuff you're unlikely to 2/3

        They're looking at healthcare/insurance through Prosperity Gospel lens. If they're okay it's because they're *right* w/God #twistedgospel

        Without insurance, individuals will still be paying for other people through increased # ER visits = higher costs.
