WATCH Rick Santorum Get His A*s Handed To Him During A Discussion Of Healthcare

Thursday evening on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, a panel was discussing how much difficulty the Trump administration was having getting Republicans to vote for their repeal and replace plan for Obamacare. Analyst Gloria Borger commented:

“What’s different from seven years ago is that you’re taking things away from people. When you were passing Obamacare, you were giving them essential health benefits, you were giving them mental health coverage, drug addiction coverage, maternity coverage, and people have gotten used to that.”

“In my experience, covering politics, there are no conservatives when it comes to your own family’s health care plan. Everybody wants as much coverage as they can possibly get, for their families.”

And then former Pennsylvania Senator and full-time doucheweasel Rick Santorum decided he would offer his always worthless opinion, declaring:

“Look, Republicans feel much more confident in the market and people’s ability to buy the insurance they want, as opposed to the insurance the government’s making them buy and pay a lot of money for it. You say, people want this and want that, but someone’s paying for it and Americans are figuring out it’s them.”

“We have a health care plan in place right now that is busting the budget.”

But former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm smelled BS and called Santorum out for his statements, telling him:

“You are spewing Republican talking points!

“You’re smirking, but since Obamacare was adopted, you have seen all of these positive trends, including the cost of health care coming down. So there has been a spike in a few areas, but let’s fix this.”

Trying desperately to recover, Santorum said most of the people who complain about the Trumpcare bill haven’t even bothered to read it. Host Anderson Cooper quickly silenced him by asking:

“Do the people who are voting for it know what’s in the bill?”

And even if the GOP does manage to pass the Trumpcare bill in the House today, the bill is DOA when it gets to the Senate. So they’re destined to lose, either now or in the near future.
