The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid
When Senator Jim Justice of West Virginia was asked about the Senate Republicans’ newly released portion of the proposed spending bill that requires parents of children older than 14 to work for Medicaid, he said, “biblically, we are supposed to work.”
With all due respect, Jim Justice can get fucked by his imaginary sky daddy, biblically. The rest of us don’t wanna hear it.
Piss on your shitty book.
It’s legitimately beyond the point where we should be planning for a general strike
Awesome. But. It every job gets you healthcare benefits. And not every job pays enough to afford healthcare through ACA. So fuck off.
I’ve worked hard labor, while either:
not being provided healcare (many chain stores keep you at 34-36 (I forgot the exact amount) hours a week so you are as close to full time as possible while still being technically part time, or they give you 10 hours a week, no bennies offered either way.)
being offered cheap healthcare that covers nothing with $9000 deductible,
and decent healthcare I couldn’t afford, $80 a week, I was that broke (childcare+rent is like paying 2 rents), but still had the $5000 deductible and copays.
We work, and we still don’t get healthcare.
Well, not federal anyway. My state does okay, but it is easy to be in the gap of not qualifying for state medical, yet still unable to afford employer insurance that may or may not cover necessary care.
I’m assuming that’s a typo, and you don’t really think every job has benefits.
iOS strikes again.
Biblically, tho.
This guy deserves a biblical ass beating.
Just be aware everyone, keep this in your back pocket. Healthcare is a Human Right. This IS Church teaching of the Catholic (Universal) Christian Faith
That’s pretty much what a medieval feudal lord would say. I think people like this have exactly this understanding of themselves: they claim a vague, God-given right to rule over their subjects – a crude excuse for their crimes and inhumanity.
Which Bible? The Pimp’s Bible?
He does not deserve Babydog.
