Mitch Checks In

 

Last week Senator (R) Mitch McConnell checked into a hospital. He had the flu. "His prognosis is positive and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving," the statement continued.

How lovely...How nice for Mitch. I bet with his wonderful health insurance through the U.S. Senate, he is not worried about payment.

That's not true for many of his constituents. It's not true for millions in America, some 8% or 27.1 million

"While states like New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Iowa, and Massachusetts boast some of the best health care systems in the nation, ranking high in overall quality, accessibility, and outcomes, states like Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Alaska, and Mississippi fall toward the bottom of the list, according to WalletHub.* 

When McConnell could have fought to keep or improve health care, his response not to fight for it, was, "They'll get over it," referring to his constituents.

Now if that isn't disgusting enough, read this  “We're going to focus on bringing down the cost of health care for everybody,” Senator Kansas R Marshall said. “And that starts with our price-tags bill forcing every health care delivery system in America to show patients upfront the cost, turn patients into consumers again, and increase competition."

The need for health care isn't a product. Patients aren't consumers. They are people with a major need.

In the middle of a heart attack when costs are presented in the emergency room to a person with chest pains, that person wouldn't go to other hospitals trying to find the best deal. 

We shouldn't worry about those poor people who can't afford health care insurance. After all, Mitch has his and screw the others.
