Oh look, Amanda Terkel, senior political reporter with The Huffington Post, doesn’t understand how insurance is SUPPOSED to work. Plus she’s all about the FEELS since it’s Mother’s Day.
GOP congressman says he shouldn't have to pay for maternity care in health insurance bc he's done having kids https://t.co/Z8fzETYA8X

Is anyone surprised that A) she doesn’t understand health insurance and B) that she used Mother’s Day as a way to pull at the heart strings of her readers so they could hate on the evil GOP just that much more?
Luckily intrepid tweeter @CuffyMeh provided a little reality to Terkel:
Which is how insurance works. It's a financial product used to mitigate risk. If the risk is non-existent, you don't need to address it. https://t.co/JNjF4RXtGl

Wait, you mean women shouldn’t have to pay for their non-existent prostates? Get outta here.
@CuffyMeh Oh no. Now you've done. Say that to Chris Hayes minions and they lose it. Start yelling community rating/risk pool

@CuffyMeh @gabrielmalor That's crazy talk right there

Right? Facts and reality are totes crazy talk.
@TheH2 @gabrielmalor but I PAAAAID into it!
Guess I should call State Farm and claw back 30 years of car premiums I didn't use.

Great idea! The editor of this piece hasn’t had an accident in years and years, surely State Farm owes her some of that collision insurance back. DOWN WITH THE MAN.
@CuffyMeh Oh no! They do it for all the feels!

Abso-freaking-lutely. It’s all about the feels and glitter glue with these folks.
Especially the glitter glue.
