"Fox & Friends" on Friday morning took aim at Senate Democrats who took selfies with protesters late Thursday night after the Senate GOP's ObamaCare repeal bill was defeated.
The show aired footage of Sen. Elizabeth Warren

“Congratulations, the healthy people are paying for the sick people,” host Brian Kilmeade sarcastically said over a clip of Warren standing among supporters.
Twitter users ripped Kilmeade for his criticism, with a number of people saying his complaint is merely an accurate description of how health insurance is supposed to work.
Others on social media noted that "Fox & Friends" did not seem to mind when House Republicans passed their ObamaCare repeal bill last month and celebrated with speeches at the White House Rose Garden.
"Congratulations, the healthy people are paying for the sick people."

"Healthy people are paying for the sick people," says Kilmeade. That's, like, how Medicaid/care works. As do ER visits for the uninsured. https://t.co/dnMcZ8SV0c

Right, the proper time for selfies was on WH lawn when House members were bussed like kids for premature celebration https://t.co/a0h9IoI9JM
