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.

Factitious Disorder: Why People Fake Serious Illness - Duration: 4:56.
[INTRO]
Did you ever fake being sick as a kid?
Maybe you were just such a goody-two-shoes that your parents didn't think you'd actually
lie.
Maybe you had it down to a science: run the thermometer under hot water in the bathroom
sink, do some jumping jacks, get hot and sweaty, and then climb back under the covers and put
on your cutest pout.
Or maybe you were lucky enough to actually get your Hogwarts letter and you always kept
a Skiving Snackbox or two on hand.
If so, I'm super jealous.
In any case … why'd you do it?
To get out of a test?
To avoid that big presentation?
Because your parents always made you a giant ice cream sundae on days when you were feeling
lousy?
That's what's known as malingering: faking symptoms of illness for some sort of clear
material benefit.
But for people with factitious disorder, faking illness isn't quite so straightforward:
they fake symptoms of illness and take on the role of a sick person, but they do it
without obvious external motivation.
Historically and in pop culture, it's usually called Munchausen syndrome, after a 17th century
baron who had a thing for embellishing stories.
People with this disorder do all sorts of things to pull off the ruse: they might lie
about their medical history, fake test results, even cause physical harm to themselves to
make it look like they have a disease or condition.
They can end up doing things that are pretty extreme, which is probably why the disorder
has shown up in almost every medical drama on TV.
But for the people living with it, the consequences can be a lot more severe than like a scathing
tongue-lashing from Dr. House.
In one study that followed 20 people living with factitious disorder, four of the subjects
died because of disorder-related behavior.
And even if people with factitious disorder don't harm themselves in the process of
faking their symptoms, they can still be harmed by unnecessary medical procedures or find
themselves bankrupted by medical bills and missing work.
There's a variant of this disorder that's even worse: people diagnosed with factitious
disorder imposed on another fake symptoms in another person, usually a child or an adult
dependent.
In those cases, the first step is to protect the victim, usually by removing them from
the care of the person with the disorder.
By now, you're probably wondering why would anyone go to such lengths to seem sick.
Well, psychologists have wondered that, too.
It's worth noting that most of the research on factitious disorder comes from case studies.
It's hard to find subjects for an empirical study, because if patients won't admit they're
faking — and most of them won't — the only way to really prove it is with their
medical records.
And that violates patient confidentiality.
Still, a lot of cases have been documented, and the consensus among researchers is that
the goal is to assume what they call a "sick role."
Think about the last time you were sick.
How did your friends and family treat you?
I'm sure feeling sick wasn't fun, but the way other people treated you was probably
kinda nice.
We have different social expectations for people who are ill.
They're often given more attention and sympathy, and other people try to help them out.
That treatment is what people with factitious disorder seem to crave.
People with the disorder are also generally experiencing psychological distress, and faking
physical symptoms can be a way to get attention and care.
But even though faking the symptoms might be conscious, the motivation behind it and
that psychological distress are usually unconscious.
Case studies show that a lot of people with factitious disorder experienced childhood
trauma, illness, loss, or neglect.
It is possible to treat factitious disorder.
Seeing a therapist to talk about the underlying distress can help.
The biggest problem is diagnosing the disorder in the first place.
It's a tricky balance: obviously doctors don't want to perform risky procedures on
people who don't need them … but they also don't want to withhold them from people
who do.
There are clues to watch out for, though.
For example, people with factitious disorder often have hopped from doctor to doctor.
They tend to be pretty calm about scary symptoms, and they're willing to undergo some serious
procedures.
And a lot of the time, all those tests and procedures … just don't do much to help.
Of course, there are also people who fit that description who are not faking.
So, it's complicated.
Even once it's clear that they have factitious disorder, confronting patients doesn't always
work.
Studies have shown that only 15-20% of people with factitious disorder will admit that they're
faking.
Most of them just go find another doctor.
The best approach seems to be to offer an alternative that will encourage the patient
to seek psychological help without having to admit that they faked their symptoms.
They're told that while the doctors work on their condition, a psychologist might also
help them get better.
That way, their therapist can work with them on understanding the underlying distress that
caused them to seek the "sick role" in the first place.
And hopefully, eventually, they will stop needing to fake it.
