On Wednesday, the hosts of The Cycle on MSNBC mocked Republican alternatives to ObamaCare. When Toure read a quote from Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) saying he wants to replace the ACA with a more patient-centric plan, frequent MSNBC guest Josh Barro wondered, “what does that mean,” and added that “it can mean whatever the listener wants it mean.”
Later in the discussion, Toure and Kystal Ball sarcastically threw out words to dismiss Republican arguments against ObamaCare. Ball shouted, “patient centric...cheaper...flexible!” Taking a cue from his fellow host, Toure cried, “yay...freedom...no more tyranny!” Barro rejected other conservative ideas like selling insurance across state lines and tort reform as insignificant solutions.
