So this is where the Republican Party is on health care. Representative Jason Chaffetz (R) of Utah says, “So maybe, rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they want to go spend hundreds of dollars on, maybe they should invest in their own healthcare.”

This is absurd! An epipen can cost more than an iPhone! Next, some Republican will be telling us we cannot eat out, go to a show, or buy steak at the grocery store, because we will need the money for health care.

T.E.C. - Iowa Wow, ETS thinks the poor – no everyone – should “budget” for their health care needs of the future. ETS tells us THOSE people “live beyond their means.” Oh yes, and beyond their means includes buying an iPhone. As I wrote, “some Republican (like ETS) will be telling us we cannot eat out, go to a show, or buy steak at the grocery store...See More
