'Dems are out of their minds': Rep. Pramila Jayapal defends Medicare for All from critics by pushing a condescending, straight-up lie [video]

Vote for Democrats because they know what’s good for you. Even if you think you know what’s good for you, you really don’t.

That’s basically what Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s pro-Medicare-for-All argument boils down to:

Show your work, Pramila. No cheating.

I like mine.

— Jubal E. Harshaw (@alimhaider) February 24, 2020

Wrong. I like my plan and want to keep my plan.

I live in your district, Representative. I love my private insurance plan. It's one of the ways I keep my family safe. Please stop trying to take it from me.

This is a lie. I very much like my private insurance plan. So does my husband. So does my son. https://t.co/QGRBW3oJBL

What an idiotic statement by Jayapal! I have private insurance and do NOT want to lose it in exchange for government insurance. I DO like my private insurance, and have stayed with the same insurance company even through job changes.

She doesn’t speak for me. I like my insurance just fine. It’s a little pricey now since the gov’t got involved, but the gov’t can’t even run a post office, or find a way to prevent tax fraud…I don’t want them anywhere near my health insurance.

Huh, I was actually quite fond of my private insurance health plan. But I’ve been priced out of it so that kinda sucks & now I have an okayish state plan.

Mine was a lot better before Obamacare.

Actually did until Obamacare messed it up. https://t.co/khaeo94Q93

I loved my private plan and then Obamacare basically forced Blue Cross to stop writing policies in my state. We have one insurer that’s terrible in my county for private plans. ONE.

Go figure.

But sure, Pramila. Nobody likes their private insurance plan.

I do. Now they are telling us what we like? These Dems are out of their minds.
