Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked an internet firestorm on Monday after he uncorked a bizarre health care plan during a segment on “The Five.”<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly raged against the Affordable Care Act throughout both of Trump’s terms, and have moved to gut part of the law by allowing health care subsidies to expire at the end of last year. Trump has also claimed for multiple years that he will soon introduce a “great health care plan” to replace the ACA, but has yet to do so. <\/p>\n

On Monday, Watters claimed to have a health care plan that the Republicans can steal. Watters called for stopping “Somali pirates” from “stealing our booty,” in reference to bringing down the cost of medicine and medical equipment. He added that ending illegal immigration would “fix the supply and demand” issue, and called for preventing doctors from “getting kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies.”<\/p>\n

But another part of his idea was one that political analysts and observers weren’t too keen on. <\/p>\n

“How about get a job?” Watters said. ‘Because most companies provide health care … Also, [Make America Healthy Again], ever heard of it? It’s called eat right and exercise. Maybe try that. I do it. And I don’t whine and go to the doctor for every ache and pain.”<\/p>\n

The plan sparked a firestorm on social media. <\/p>\n

“We have to get all the Republicans to run on the Watters health care plan,” Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, posted on X. <\/p>\n

“Validates a major critique of MAHA that it is not about making everyone healthier but about blaming individuals for their illnesses,” Krystal Ball, co-host of the political show “Breaking Points,” posted on X. “Full libertarian approach to healthcare. (Also obviously this is rich coming from a multimillionaire on a corporate healthcare plan).”<\/p>\n

“Jesse Watters has finally unveiled the Republican replacement for Obamacare: ‘Just don\u2019t get sick’ and simply don’t receive medical care,” Alex Cole, a progressive media critic, posted on X. <\/p>\n
