How Many Poor People Dying Would Be Enough For The Freedom Caucus To Be Happy? Murderers

And support Ryan's Trump/Deathcare deal?

They are murderers.

We got healthcare and you can't have it.

What a bunch of scum.

they don't give a shit. We had 40k/yr dying before ACA, not sure what the current numbers are, but it has to be less.

Under TrumpCare it'll be back in the 10's of thousands again.

of insurance. The number for whom lack of insurance--or INADEQUATE insurance--was an important factor that lead to their deaths is many times higher.

For instance, people who thought they were doing okay, didn't have physical exams for years, so continued with untreated hypertension they didn't know they had until it destroyed their kidneys and damaged their hearts.

I highlighted "inadequate" insurance because many of these people were insured, through typical workplace policies for instance that they helped pay for with every paycheck, but with such high deductibles that coverage never kicked in.

as an accusation is the Tea Party, Freedom Caucus types really wanted the job. They are almost there in a position to dispense life and death. Do not have the money or assets for health care you are going to die.

Want the 18th century. Suffering and being screwed over was just a part of life in those days.

They're evil.
