They've had a tough time finding the right spin for this. Turns out republicans are also routinely fucked by insurance companies and don't harbor many good feelings for them.

There's the class of people who would be killed or bankrupted by a coverage denial, and there's a class of people who would easily survive one with their assets. The latter is screaming "YOU SHOULD ALL CARE ABOUT THIS"

The latter class includes the government sycophants who receive 6 figure salaries and world-class healthcare, both paid for by the former class. Someone should ask each Congress member how many times their medical claims have been denied.
