Well shit.

People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad, but paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with - it keeps you alive. Why? Because you’ve been conditioned to think health care is something you can get without having to pay for it.

Rick Santorum - making a mockery of his Christian faith on a daily basis.  What cruel and inhumane thing will he say next?

You buy an iPad once.  You buy medication every fucking month, asshole, this is a ridiculous conclusion to draw that has no basis in reality.  Never mind that health care is something we should all get without having to pay for it.  Because it’s a human right.  I honestly think I might not hate anything more than a fake, situational, self-absorbed evangelical.  I really don’t.

This life-saving medication costs about as much as a luxury item only people over a certain income level can afford to buy once? I don’t see the problem.

I can’t afford an iPad. Can I have healthcare now, Rick?

My two cents, The price of electronics goes down after a while, it’s voluntary to buy the $900 iPad at that price. The price of medication doesn’t go down, and people don’t have the luxury of waiting for medicine to cheapen up.
