Erick Erickson, the conservative republican opinion writer in the Times Picayune article dated 9/22 titled, "Kimmel has no moral authority" follows the ditto head ideology of his party on the health care scheme and ploy. Erickson gets bent out of shape because Kimmel criticized Senator Bill Cassidy's health care bill that does not protect the very people Cassidy said it would.
Erickson then goes on to compare Kimmel's family health problems and wealth to his own and some how uses that to declare Kimmel has no moral authority. Of course those that follow Trump and the republican party's rhetoric on health care, know the only thing those folks care about is reversing the success of President Obama's administration no matter who they hurt and their health care scheme hurts real people.
Kimmel actually has more moral authority than Erickson on the subject matter because Erickson goes along with the republican's scheme and ploy and even promotes it. Seven and a half years of fraudulent health care rhetoric and all the republicans can come up with is a scheme where millions of Americans lose their health care coverage.
The Cassidy-Graham health care scheme is being acknowledged by several republicans in congress who are opposed to its passage. Those opposed can not offer any thing better and still want to repeal and replace the ACA which is working. That lack of having a sound plan is proof the republicans could care less about health care. And controlling both houses of congress for the last two years and seven months and doing nothing is more proof. So sorry Erickson your time is up.
No matter how you cut it, the right thing to do is to improve on the ACA and make it better. The answer has been there all along, just like the democrats have said all along, especially Hillary Clinton.
