Why do Republicans gloat over taking away health coverage from 12 million people?

Depends on whether or not they deserve it.
If they're on it fraudulently the other ones taking healthcare away from someone else

Democrats brag about how many people now have health insurance

Republicans brag about how many they take away insurance

Are you?

Nope. A white guy who pulls for average working folk. Not the uber wealthy.

Well I'm glad for those who need it believe me.
However until everyone is willing to place their refrigerator out on the sidewalk in front of their house so that all who need food can take from it I'm having a tough time buying the sympathy for people who shouldn't have it.

No
I would just prefer to provide food assistance to those who need it

We are the wealthiest nation on earth
We can afford it

They brag about the high deductible policies they created that are about the same as having no insurance until you exceed the 'high deductible'?

Republicans brag about how many they take away insurance.

Sure do when they find fraud and abuse.

Food probably should not be corporatized.
Unfortunately there's a tremendous lack of benevolence for one's fellow man and the money incentive seems to be the only thing that makes things grow.

Did you read this?
Approximately 21 million prime-age Americans are not working and not looking for work.

A-38. Persons not in the labor force by desire and availability for work, age, and sex

www.bls.gov

This group represents about 19% of the prime-age population.
The United States has record numbers of open jobs this year,
with up to two openings for every unemployed person.

Most prime-age Americans work, and most of those who don’t work say they’re not looking for a job due to caregiving, health, or school

So what? Not your business. As long as they are not drawing assistance, who cares?

Again like a 7th grader you depend on cartoons and then you make up lies! How sad. You scribbled,
"having the same problems with covid conspiracies"

COVID: Top 10 current conspiracy theories​

COVID-19 conspiracy theories are beliefs that the pandemic and related events were orchestrated by powerful, hidden groups for malicious purposes, rather than being the result of natural or accidental causes.
These theories offer alternative narratives that often reject accepted scientific explanations and public health guidelines.

Hmmm...
Now I have no problem with dealing with the FACTS regarding "COVID Conspiracies" and here
is a web site that totally negates the majority of the conspiracies. The sad reality is this though:
Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers(AFT), recently resigned from her position on the Democratic National Committee (DNC). She cited a difference in vision for the party's direction as the reason for her departure.

COVID: Top 10 current conspiracy theories - Alliance for Science

As the COVID-19 crisis worsens, the world also faces a global misinformation pandemic. Conspiracy theories that behave like viruses themselves are spreading just as rapidly online as SARS-CoV-2 does offline. Here are the top 10 conspiracy theories making the rounds. Blaming 5G This conspiracy...

Now I'm pointing this out because here is what she did in 2019 regarding COVID-19!

Not fabricating anything........nor did I say immigrants haven't been doing those things. The question would be if they were legal immigrants or not,


High school kids were bussed to the fields to do the picking during the summer. It was optional, not mandatory. And most adult pickers were Asian, and in fact still are, though back in the 70's Hispanics were few on the west side. Maybe/probably higher on the east side where there was/is more crop farming and orchards. Many of them are legal.....many are not.

Kids need to learn about taking some responsibility, and doing work for pay,,,,,,whether it's farm work or other menial jobs and they wouldn't be expecting everything handed to them and bitching if they don't get it. More importantly, it would get them out of the house doing something and interacting with others and away from their damn gadgets. They'd also learn some self respect and pride in accomplishments that would maybe keep them off drugs or depression.......you know, some of those real world problems that plague alot of the population

The crops must be harvested if we want to eat.

Get your butt out there.

Food has been corporified for millennia. The family farm growing food for sale is a rarity. Most family farms throughout the world are subsistence operations that may make some spending money selling excess.

Define need. If someone refuses to support him/herself, are they legitimately needy? I agree that we should support people UNABLE to work like the violently mentally ill or those physically unable to work. But people capable of working need to support themselves. Even if those disabled are receiving aid, they should be doing some kind of work, even if it is busy work to return a benefit to society.

I know a guy in my town who bitches about how he and his wife can't get enough food from the food bank, while he spends money on beer and dope.

And wonders why he can't get enough hours at his job.

There are also millions of other Americans who aren’t seeking work but say they’d like to have a job.
And both groups are massively outnumbered by ...nonworking Americans who say they don’t want to work for reasons such as school, health, or taking care of a family.
