Nobody is saying the guy shouldn't get government health care.
The laughable, hypocritical thing is that the guy is indignant there is no public option he can take advantage of when he finds himself without insurance for a month.
The very same type of public option he campaigned against, what he called "a gateway to socialized medicine".
Guess it's only a denouncable socialistic gateway if it's not something you personally want.
He can pay COBRA rates like everyone else to hold over his old healthcare until the new job healthcare kicks in. If he doesn't have insurance now, looks like he's screwed for 28 days, like 40 million other uninsured Americans.
But at least now he cannot be denied insurance for his pre-existing conditions. Until he votes to overturn that, as he swore to do on the campaign trail.
