Far too many ostensibly progressive people play the 'taxpayer' game, but it's ultimately a downward-punching weapon that exists to give license to oppression, bigotry, and cruelty.
Interesting that, given the witness was testifying about employer-provided insurance, no one seems to have pointed out there would therefore be no "taxpayer dollars" involved in the first place. Instead, it turned into yet another festival of pearl-clutching over that nasty Rush Limbaugh, who was a master of propaganda the left would do well to study and analyze in-depth. That, above all, seems to be one of the weakest links in the New Left chain—they're so poorly educated they simply aren't capable of generating effective propaganda. Instead, they're firmly entrenched in Field-of-Dreams thinking, meaning all they have to do is march in and bury people in facts and there will be immediate mass conversions. It's especially endemic in the Medicare for All movement.
Yes, Fluke was talking about private insurance. It was Limbaugh who created the lie that Fluke was after a handout from the state. It was Limbaugh who lied to reframe her comments for clickbait. Facts and truth are important. Joining Limbaugh in the gutter is, in my opinion, not the way forward.

What you are suggesting is that 'the left' join Limbaugh and 'the right' in the gutter. Sure. Great idea.
I said no such thing, but thank you for providing an excellent example of my point—that too many in the left are incapable of grasping that you study a successful enemy to learn how they became successful then apply the PROCESS to counter them. Instead, it's all about being against X, be it "the right" or "the racists" or whatever the label du jour is. Fact of life: you do NOT secure massive social change by rejecting people simply because they aren't on your "team". The term is "plurality"—look it up. Granted, it's not entirely your fault—"education reform" was specifically designed to ensure you never learned that.
If success comes through lying and cheating, we must study the liars and cheats and be better liars and cheats than they are. Where are we headed here?
