TN has some of highest premiums in country bc GOP consistently blocked federal obamacare funding/Medicaid expansions

they've shown no problem playing politics with people's lives just so ACA would be expensive, convince people to hate it

Similar situation in NC. INSANE deductibles and high premiums, much worse than in northeast states I looked at.

@Robyn780 @jayGmajor @mj_lee See The New England Journal of Medicine study. Rates have increased slower since ACA.

True, the point is GOP obstruction in red states caused citizens to suffer higher rates, less ins.

Yes. If all states took Medicaid expansion we would be down to only 7-8% uninsured.

can I send her an edible arrangement or something please

I RT'd bc I read her Bible where Christians are suppose to love their neighbor. I never got the current GOP version.

Making other people pay for you neighbors insurance is not you showing love. Christianity is voluntary YANFBTM

yep its called slavery and extortion. Robin hood redistribution is not moral. Not in the slightest

Put down your Ayn Rand. ACA not redistrib; it's banding together for all our benefit. @KirbyWNelson @Massena1 @thischoi @mj_lee

You may lack empathy, but you are aware that your neighbor's health affects you, right? @KirbyWNelson @Massena1 @thischoi @mj_lee

Also, things that ARE wealth redistribution: corporate welfare. Unlivable minimum wage. @KirbyWNelson @Massena1 @thischoi @mj_lee

Is there any available recording of the answer? Thanx for sharing!

Whose town hall was this (which representative)?

Rep is Diane Black. Super conservative fake Christian

Yup, found out, thanks :)

Knew it was a Republican when she started her answer with, "let me put some facts out there", ie let me BS you

Yep, she started in with calling the individual responsibility portion of the law a "tax fine."
