Most people have not heard of Republican Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin, but
he made a media appearance this weekend where he said something that should make every American
get to know who Ron Johnson from Wisconsin really is.
Here is what Mr. Johnson said about people in the United States living with preexisting
conditions.
I am reminded by ... Remember President Bill Clinton talking about Obamacare as a crazy
system?
He started talking about the people that are busting it, sometimes working 60 hours a week,
and then they're left with premiums that have doubled and their coverage cut in half.
Those are the forgotten men and women in this entire healthcare debate.
We know why those premiums doubled.
We've done something with our healthcare system that you would never even think about doing,
for example, with auto insurance, where you'd require auto insurance companies to sell a
policy to somebody after they crashed their car.
States that have enacted guaranteed issue, which is the guarantee for preexisting conditions,
it crashes their markets.
It causes ... to collapse.
It causes premiums to skyrocket.
That's right, folks, according to Senator Johnson, if you have any kind of preexisting
condition, you're damaged goods.
You deserve to pay more for health insurance, if you even get health insurance coverage
at all because, you know, you're damaged.
You're like a bad car that's been in an accident.
Somebody rear-ended you, and now you're screwed for the rest of your life through no fault
of your own, in most cases.
Here's the thing, Mr. Johnson.
I will not address you as Senator because I do not respect you that much because you
don't respect other people.
Here's the thing.
I could understand slightly people with preexisting conditions having to pay more if it's for
something, say, like a smoking-related illness.
Somebody made the decision, knowing the dangers, got an illness from smoking; now they have
to pay a little more.
Actually kind of makes sense, folks.
It does.
But to say that a woman who's pregnant or has ever been pregnant is now labeled as having
a preexisting condition for the rest of her life because her body did something that the
body naturally does in women?
How in the hell does that make sense for her to have to pay more for health insurance?
You're talking about kids with nut allergies that are considered having a preexisting condition.
They don't deserve to pay more.
They've done nothing wrong.
This isn't their fault, and that's what Republicans constantly want you to think.
If somebody has a preexisting condition, if they were born with a preexisting condition,
or if they simply live their life the way they're supposed to or the way they want to,
that it's somehow their fault.
Well, it's not.
Ron Johnson, the rest of every single Republican in Washington, DC, doesn't seem to understand
that.
Having a child is not a preexisting condition.
Having a nut allergy is not a preexisting condition, okay?
That's just something these people did.
That's something that their bodies did.
They have no control over it, for the most part, what happens inside of them.
You guys need to understand this a little bit better.
Johnson further goes on in that clip to explain that it's because of these people, the preexisting
condition, car accident-type people out there, that we're all paying more for health insurance.
That's why insurance companies have to raise their rates.
There is absolutely no truth to that statement whatsoever.
You know how much money United Health made in a three-month span from July, August, and
September of 2016?
You know how much money they made?
They made in profit over $700 million.
$700 million.
The same can be said for most other major U.S. health insurance companies.
Every single one of them is turning a multi-billion-dollar profit every single year.
If people with preexisting conditions, like the Republicans tell us, were actually a drain
on the system, you wouldn't be making billions of dollars in profit.
Even if they are draining the system a little bit, you still seem to be doing pretty damn
well, right?
So what if you have to pay out an extra $10,000 for a few people when you're pulling in billions
of dollars?
It's all about greed, ladies and gentlemen, insurance industry greed and Republican greed.
People with preexisting conditions are not the problem.
They are not the people to blame.
They didn't cause any problems with the U.S. healthcare industry.
Republicans did, and the health insurance companies did.
That is the one thing that everybody needs to know as we continue these debates about
healthcare in the United States.
It's not sick people's fault.
It's not healthy people's fault.
It is Republicans' fault.
