#1 Anti-Obamacare GOPer: Where's my healthcare?

[quote]A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in.

Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.

“He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,â€

Me: Evil is so inappropriate. I'm ruthless.
Tev: You're turning me on.

Admittly I am not an economics expert but well from what I've read you cannot have all 3. You must pick any 2 (I may be being wildly optimistic there).

Guy must never have worked, because every job I've ever had it takes 3-6months to get benefits.

*Is currently working as a temp, and thus getting no benefits at all, and never will while he is working as a temp*

Fuck you you lying piece of shit. I will laugh gleefully when you're stupid ass is kicked back out on the street.
