Melissa Harris-Perry says Democrats should tell people who have lost their healthcare due to Obamacare: “just deal with that”

April 21, 2014

  MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is upset that the Democrats are not taking Barack Obama’s advice and embracing Obamacare before the 2014 election. She claims this shows that the Democratic party has no swagger and she wants to see them go on the offensive.

  After claiming that Obamacare has provided millions of people with insurance (while forgetting to mention many of these people had insurance before Obamacare but it was canceled) she lamented the fact that more Democrats do not seem to be promoting Barack Obama’s signature legislation.

  Here is part of what she had to say:

“They’re not even owning it,” she lamented. “No confidence, no swagger, no ‘Yeah, you can’t keep your crappy plans. Just deal with that!’”

  In other words: Yeah, we lied when we said you can keep your insurance, and yes you did lose your insurance due to our policies and now are facing higher premiums, but it was for your own good because your plan sucked anyway so just deal with it! Stop whining!

  Yeah, that sounds like a winning campaign slogan to me…..

        Hospitals are laying off all over the country. The most unreported story that is devastating the quality. No money for new technology as well.
