Rick Santorum, demonstrating his compassion to the mother of a sick child who complained that his medication could cost $1 million a year. (via motherjones)
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?

Is it bad that I actually find some logical sound in his argument? From what I’m reading he’s essentially saying “yeah, that sucks.. but if we don’t give them profit they won’t want to make better drugs, just more cost effective drugs” I mean, this selected excerpt is certainly the only issue with what he says. The rest of it is very free-market logical.. And what he appears to be arguing is mandating the cost of medication. He does not appear to be arguing the mandation of health care itself.
