Kellyanne Conway: Let Them Eat Cake

• by: Colorado Pols

CNBC reports–this could honestly be the worst PR we’ve ever seen:

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway says people on Medicaid who will lose coverage under the Republican plan to repeal Obamacare could find jobs that provide health insurance…

“Obamacare took Medicaid, which was designed to help the poor, the needy, the sick, disabled, also children and pregnant women, it took it and went way above the poverty line to many able-bodied Americans,” she said. They “should probably find other — at least see if there are other options for them.” [Pols emphasis]

Conway went on: “If they are able-bodied and they want to work, then they’ll have employer-sponsored benefits like you and I do.”

There you have it straight from the Trump administration, folks! No need to screw around with lip service like Sen. Cory Gardner about “protecting” Medicaid expansion patients. Of course, there are some exceptions to Conway’s neatly-wrapped up little package about those millions of Medicaid expansion beneficiaries.

Rather than messing up Kellyanne Conway’s talking points, the exceptions should probably just die.
