WATCH DUMBEST STATEMENT EVER MADE
Paul Ryan said that insurance cannot work if healthy people have to pay more to subsidize the sick.This is literally how all insurance works. If someone’s house burns down, some of your fire insurance money goes to help that person rebuild. If someone gets sick, some of your premium, healthy person, goes toward that person’s coverage. Paul Ryan Has worked in government since he got out of college and apparently doesn’t understand how the real world works.
Late night comic Jimmy Kimmel even
knows how insurance works and said:“Imagine trying to buy car insurance,” ’Hey,
my car is fine. I’m not paying for those people who got in accidents.’ It’s
like saying the lottery doesn’t work because only one person hits the jackpot.”
