This is where Jason Chaffetz of Utah barges in: “Maybe instead of buying that new iPhone that they just love, they should invest in healthcare.” There you have the Republican philosophy! Uninsured Americans are profligate fools who rush out to buy the shiniest new toy instead of saving for a luxury appendectomy or broken leg. Mind,Representatives like Chaffetz are already covered with a less punitive healthcare plan.
