So I'm watching Morning Joe and the Republicans on the show are saying that people won't work because of all the benefits they get from Obamacare for not working. That Obamacare reduces the incentive to work by giving you too many "benefits".
Well, for those making that argument, I have a news flash. Healthcare doesn't pay your rent. Doesn't give you food or clothes. People that make the minimum wage don't work to go to the doctor. They don't need to. They can go to the emergency room for 10 to 100 times or more, the cost of just visiting a regular doctor. And if they get to a doctor and have whatever treated BEFORE it becomes serious, that saves tax payers a ton of money.
People actually work for things like food and clothes and a warm and safe place to sleep. Healthcare tends to come in someplace near or at the end.
So the real incentive of Affordable Care is to keep the population healthy so we aren't paying for lots and lots of really sick people. That is such common sense. No matter how the GOP tries, the majority of people will never support "let him die".
And just two days ago, the very same guy was talking about a family with three kids whose parents had quit their jobs they hated to start their own business. The only reason they hadn't done that before was the cost of health care for their three kids. And starting a business is hard work. You put in many more hours than a regular 40 hour a week job. So are these people scamming the system or are they actually adding to the economy?
Republicans start these narratives hoping other Americans think bad about their neighbors. That's the only way they work. They have to get Republicans to despise other Americans.
It seems the GOP wants you "locked" into a job so you can work as much as you can until the day you die.
And the Democrats on the show, like Meeka, are simply in over their heads when confronted by these shysters like Michael Steele and Joe Scarborough. They just sit there looking stupid.
Again and again, America is fooled by Republicans. But it certainly is happening less. That will make the GOP overstep and become truly irrelevant. But it will take even more time as long as the so called "liberal" media keeps giving them a soapbox.
