A former Republican candidate named Greg Collett believes that the government shouldn’t be involved in healthcare.
But this comes from a person who depends on government ran healthcare to insure his 10 children. THAT’S RIGHT! Greg has 10 children on Medicaid.
But it doesn’t stop here, Collett also opposes many things ran by the government like public schools, public transportation, and marriage licenses.
Many people can’t understand why he would be so against Obamacare but clearly is taking advantage of Medicaid, another government ran healthcare option.
Collett responded in a letter on his website:
“”Let me set the record straight. Yes, I participate in government programs of which I adamantly oppose. Many of them, actually. Am I a hypocrite for participating in programs that I oppose? If it was that simple, and if participation demonstrated support, then of course. But, my reason for participation in government programs often is not directly related to that issue in and of itself, and it certainly does not demonstrate support. For instance, I participate in government programs in order to stay out of the courts, or jail, so that I can take care of my family; other things I do to avoid fines or for other financial reasons; and some are simply because it is the only practical choice. With each situation, I have to evaluate the consequences of participating or not participating.”
