One of 2016's most vulnerable Republican senators, who also happens to be one of the Senate's dumbest, is worried about how the Supreme Court might be hurting his chances for re-election if they rule for the plaintiffs in the challenge against Obamacare subsidies for people buying insurance on the federal exchange. Mind you, Wisconsin's Ron Johnson doesn't give a fig for the 185,000 Wisconsinites who might lose their health insurance. He worries that Democrats will use it politically to make Republicans look bad, as expressed in this radio interview.
JOHNSON: Unfortunately, President Obama's response to an adverse decision—in other words one that actually follows the law—would be really simple. Just a one-sentence bill allowing people’s subsidies to flow to federal exchanges and/or offer the governors, 'Hey, we know you got those federal exchanges. Just sign the bottom line. We'll make those established by the state.' And of course, he'll have the ads all racked up with the individuals that have benefited from Obamacare on the backs of the American taxpayer. He'll have all those examples as well so. ...
WEBER: And the sad sack stories about who's dying from what and why they can’t get their coverage.
JOHNSON: Right.
WEBER: Oh yeah.
Note that the thought of people dying without coverage isn't what bothers him, it's that those stories will be used against Republicans. Note, too, that he thinks that the millions who have health insurance because of the subsidies "have benefited from Obamacare on the backs of the American taxpayer." Guess what, Einstein? The people benefitting from Obamacare are American taxpayers! Nearly half of them are employed full time. Another 35 percent work part-time. All of them pay taxes.
and today's whack a mole displays his ignorance he not only insults millions of tax payers the one's on his side too but sights his concern that they might look bad, they need no help in that happening they don't have a problem with looking bad they have got it down to a science oop's my bad they don't believe in science. the most egregious point here is the nonchalant attitude the republicans show with the knowledge that their repealing of ObamaCares denies millions of healthcare they've already had a taste of. dismissing over 70% of Americans who want to keep it that percentage includes members of their loyal base. recognize this is not just him it's the party all 4 factions of it.
