Hey, guess what? Bernie is absolutely right in that exchange with that small business owner. That lady blamed her lack of expansion of Obamacare, but Bernie's point is that if she can't pay her employee's health insurance, she can't expand. That's not Obamacare's fault, that's hers, and the fact she's looking for excuses NOT to pay for her workers' health insurance is ridiculous. Her concern should be protecting her workers before expanding her business.
Really? Do you know her profit margins? How about how many workers she would employ were it not for the healthcare mandate? How many workers did she have to put on part-time or fire because of the healthcare mandate? You are AWARE that she couldn't pay for her
own goddamn loving healthcare, right? MEANWHILE, she's being talked down to by a SOCIALIST WITH THREE HOUSES A COUPLE OF YARDS APART FROM EACH OTHER, chastising her saying that if you can't buy something for ALL of your employees that, who knows? MAYBE THEY CAN AFFORD THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE, then you are a heartless bitch who is looking for excuses and does not DESERVE to expand. How much more cunting ELITIST can you GET?
Healthcare is not a loving right, and to force people to buy it is an HUGE middle finger to them, and dare I say unconstitutional (being forced to buy a private business or get taxed).
Can we stop for like, one second and agree on the FACT that THIS GOES DEEPER THAN "oh she can't pay for that, she must be an starfish for trying to get more money to pay for it!!1111!11!!1!!"?
