A second effort in the Tennessee legislature to take up Medicaid expansion failed this week, meaning 280,000 Tennesseans still remain, needlessly, without any kind of healthcare coverage. When one of those Tennesseans confronted Sen. Todd Gardenhire (R), a wealth manager at Morgan Stanley about it, asking him if he'd be willing to give up his own insurance, well, Gardenhire showed his true colors.
One activist, Damien Crisp, asked Gardenhire if he would be willing to give up his own state-subsidized health insurance.
Gardenhire, in a video of the incident taken by another activist, turned around and said something along the lines of "Not giving it up, asshole" or, perhaps, "Why don't you give it up, asshole?" ("Asshole" is the clearest part of his rejoinder.)
Gardenhire's health coverage has been an issue in Tennessee before. He had previously claimed not to receive state-sponsored coverage, but the Associated Press, through an open records request, revealed that he does.
"I have it, but I don't use it," the lawmaker told AP after the revelation. "I use Morgan Stanley's insurance, which is far greater." […]
"We drove all the way up to Nashville and tried to engage in the process," Crisp said, "and this is the democracy we get, being called an asshole." Crisp said.
it's really hard to believe that people being deprived of healthcare when so many are now eligible including them are thanks to their republican governors still among the rolls of uninsured. how many of these people are still cheering and ready to vote the republican agenda 2016? if tey areconcerned about family and healthcare here's a tip on a fix, "DON'T VOTE FOR THE SAME SELFISH KOCH WHORES 2016!!!!!! if they are denying you now is there a word for what they will do to you if they come back.
keep in mind they are dedicated to denying you this healthcare why because it's Pres.'s plan for years you heard "repeal and replace" but never what the replace is they tried to float the Ryan voucher plan again but to many people saw that trick before, now of late it's the words they changed "repeal each and every word of ObamaCares" excuse me what happened to replace???
Isn't that charming. You won't be surprised to find out who Gardenhire considers his true constituents, (or maybe his bosses). Yup, the Koch brothers, who have gone all in to kill Medicaid expansion in Tennessee, twice, in special and regular session. It's pretty clear who the asshole is here.
note there is no room for we the people in the right wing design for American Republika, because each and every one of us is not written into persons like the Koch's blueprint to more money, more money they see us as a liability if they have to spend one dollar more to assure a healthy workforce we know they don't care about us as human beings. as far as them not using ObamaCares that day is coming sooner than later, we also know they like to play with words so just because "he does not use it" what about the family, with Flu and Measles in the country are they denying their kids too, no vaccinations????
