Democrat Solution to Health Care Reform: Kill 420,480 Americans
A little tidbit on Rush Limbaugh today stood out as supreme hypocrisy in the ObamaCare debate - well beyond hypocrisy, in fact. Alert contributor Chris Sells in the Arena at Politico.com summed it up well:
I watched the debate on and off last evening, watching the final comments by McConnell and Reid. A comment Reid made in regards to 2 people die every 10 minutes due to lack of insurance. So out comes the calculator..so that is 288 per day or 105,102 per year over 4 years (when benefits supposedly kick in in 2014) that is 420,480 deaths due to lack of insurance, according to Sen. Reid 2 per 10 minute statement. If this achievement is so "awesome" why the delay in benefits and help those 420,480 future deaths since this about people and not politics as Sen. Reid claimed?
So, on the one hand, we have Florida Rep. Alan "MyCongressmanIsNuts.com" Grayson claiming that the Republican solution to health care reform is to have old people die quickly. Seems quite an accusation, but we know he's been abducted by aliens at least once. On the other hand, Harry Reid is confessing that the Senate Democrat plan will kill nearly a half million people before the benefits kick in (and not just old folks, either).
Well, it's a darn good thing for "old people" that the Reid plan won out, isn't it?
