Waxman: Selling Individual Insurance is 'Abuse'
Breitbart ^ | 10/30/2013 | Joel Pollak

Posted on 10/30/2013 11:11:25 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Following Waxman, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) compared the cancellations to the government forcing drivers to trade in Fords to buy Ferraris. Under Waxman's logic, the fact that consumers might benefit from cheaper plans, even if those plans did not offer the same array of benefits, is irrelevant. The free choice of individual consumers and insurance providers offering a legal and beneficial product is defined as "abuse."

Under Waxman's definition, a student graduating from a professional school who happened to be older than 26 (and hence ineligible to stay on his or her parents' insurance) and who found a job in a small organization that did not provide insurance to employees would be a victim of "abuse" if he or she found an affordable individual insurance policy that provided basic protection from catastrophic health problems.

Waxman--and Obamacare--would rather force that graduate to choose between a far more expensive policy on the Obamacare exchanges (assuming he or she could register) that includes more benefits than he or she wants, on the one hand, or not buying any insurance at all and paying the penalty to the IRS, on the other, knowing full well that he or she could not be denied emergency treatment or insurance coverage later.

These clowns at this point are so full of sh@t they can’t even put a cognitive opinion out there that makes sense! Complete @sshat dizzying morons. It’s like arguing with an 8th grade class president who promised free crap if you voted for them.

You cannot have a rational discussion with people like Waxman. The very definition of common words is different. The thought pattern of liberals is so bizarre that there is virtually no hope they will comprehend your argument or have the slightest ability to objectively analyze their own positions. Its really quite hopeless.

they are not being forced to trade in Fords for Ferrari’s they are being made to trade in Fords for Fords but without things they wanted, and with things they didn’t want and the new policy is priced more like a Ferrari.
