GOP Congressman: Nobody Dies Because They Dont Have Access To Health Care
Source: Huffington Post
Faced with criticism from constituents about the Obamacare repeal bill, Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) denied that lack of health insurance prompts people to die from preventable deaths.
You are mandating people on Medicaid accept dying, a constituent told Labrador at a town hall meeting at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, Friday morning. You are making a mandate that will kill people.
No one wants anybody to die. That line is so indefensible, Labrador responded.
Nobody dies because they dont have access to health care, he continued, drawing loud jeers from the audience.

They choose to ally with a team of nutcakes rather than team with a party with whom they may have some fundamental disagreement, but is taking the moral imperative.

It's not like people haven't ever changed parties when their own doesn't align with their values.
So yes. F*** Susan Collins and the rest of them.

Labrador, you *FUCKING* SON OF A BITCH! You are an insult to an entire breed of dog, not to mention the entire canine genus. Hell, you're an insult to tapeworm shit.

Who are these people? How did they get this way?
It's not like they ever rub elbows with the peons or bother to get to know them.
Another Republican a**hole.
