California Rep Says Poor People Choose This Lifestyle!?!?

On What Planet Can This be True?

California Rep. Darrell Issa faced an often critical crowd at his town hall meeting Saturday over his position on repealing the Affordable Care Act.

When he challenged residents complaining about possible changes to the affordability of health care to be more fiscally responsible, more jeers ensued.

“In return for not having pre-existing conditions not be grounds for refusal or high pay, we’re going to have to say to people, ‘You’ve got to continuously be fiscally responsible,” Issa said.

“If you’re choosing a lifestyle where you’re saying, ‘I can afford everything except healthcare … ‘” he said before the boos drowned him out.

Can this be the chosen lifestyle of those who cannot afford healthcare??

The Facts About Hunger:

1 in 5 kids in America doesn’t get the food they need every day. This takes a terrible toll on their health and development, and threatens their futures in profound ways. It also drags down our nation’s economy by perpetuating the cycle of poverty. (Source No Kid Hungry.org)

So if the Wizard of Odd puts these 2 facts into context… the GOP position is that people who can’t afford to feed their children nor pay for healthcare are voluntarily choosing this “lifestyle”.

Come on people, who can believe this bullshit?
