Really, Jay?
Via Mediaite:
On Tuesday, CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett pressed White House Press Sec. Jay Carney on a “philosophical” point regarding whether those who are losing their health care coverage are justified in their frustration over this condition. Carney said that their frustration was as relevant as people who are opposed to wearing motorcycle helmets – compliance is still the law.
“Let me ask a philosophical question,” Garrett began. “Is it possible, and does the White House understand, how someone in the insurance market — the individual market — can say, ‘You know what? The White House may believe I have a crappy insurance policy, but I like it.’” […]
“It’s not entirely different to someone who is opposed to wearing a helmet in a state where there is a helmet law for motorcyclists, right?” the press secretary continued. “You can be ideologically opposed to it, you may think it’s wrong or it’s government overreach, but the legislative body that passed that law disagreed.”
