Louie Gohmert on life expectancy: ‘You die earlier’ with socialist presidents and Obamacare

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) recently warned that Americans lives were literally at stake if they did not elect a Republican president, and repeal or delay President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

“I’m willing to postpone as much of it as we can, hoping that in 2016 we really will get a president who has the best interest of a free nation at heart and not one going socialist,” he explained to conservative radio host Lars Larson last week. “If we keep doing little fixes to it, that also helps keep it, so I would rather postpone it as much as possible without doing little fixes.”

“Because the little fixes could end up giving us a system where we see the mortality rate start coming down, you die earlier, not because it’s an actual death panel but because you don’t get the treatment,” Gohmert said.

As Right Wing Watch pointed out, the United States already has a lower life expectancy than other Western countries with universal health care.

Louie Gohmert is convinced, dammit, that getting health care makes you die earlier.

I know that sounds crazy, but only if you’ve read a book.

Concerning the Affordable Care Act.

“If we keep doing little fixes to it, that also helps keep it, so I would rather postpone it as much as possible without doing little fixes because the little fixes could end up giving us a system where we see the morality rate start coming down, you die earlier, not because it’s an actual death panel but because you don’t get the treatment.”

That’s not a statement. That is just words strung together with barbed wire. He’s saying that getting health care kills you.

I firmly believe that we missed the boat to riches beyond our wildest dreams. Someone else was inspired by Louie to invent a best selling game at Toys R Us.

Whenever I see his name, I don't know why I continue reading, but I do. Must be the masochism in me.

4. Too dumb to govern.

5. Does that include Louie?

Or, does it save him by not having/approving ACA?

Ol' Louie needs to be more concerned about mental health/capacity/abilities. He started out low on the ladder in that category, so anything that comes from his mouth is suspect.

8. Yea right

That's why the Methuselah Foundation, devoted to curing age related deaths, would hate government funding...all the lives their work would prolong.

9. Bush ll is a socialist, then?

Because if Louie wants to talk about people dying earlier, then we can talk about both wars started under the Bush ll presidency that cost thousands of young lives.

10. Who ARE these "Soshulist preznits" in Louie's weird wangery world?

THIS is what America puts in office? SHAME.
