GOP Congressman: Nobody Dies Because They Dont Have Access To Health Care

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 don’t have access to health care,” he continued, drawing loud jeers from the audience.

1. Are the Rs in Congress having a contest to see who can be the biggest douche cannon fuck nugget?

Just wondering.

2. The repugs are so full of manure it must be impossible to inhale.

I have zero respect for anyone who remains in that party - and that includes "moderates" like Susan Collins.

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.

[NewRedDawn]

12. You are so right Spiderpig!

Anyone who remains in that party & claiming you are a moderate is B.S.

[llmart]

16. Agreed.

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.

3. Tell that to my sister, asshole!!

Oh, wait, you can't--she's DEAD! Because an insurance company decided she had reached her lifetime cap of benefits!

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.

[retrowire]

10. "You are an insult to an entire breed of dog"

excellent. Just excellent. XD

[Zambero]

4. Let's all cancel our policies

Health care is so over-rated anyway. Thank you for those words of reassurance, Raul Labrador!

[YOHABLO]

5. Do I expect anything less from a GOP representative? Idiots all of them.

[briv1016]

6. They don't consider the poor to be human. So they honestly believe that no one dies.

[Squinch]

7. Yes. This is exactly it. Because otherwise, how could you possibly think that

a person could not be vulnerable to death without access to medical care?

Who are these people? How did they get this way?

[llmart]

15. Exactly!

It's not like they ever rub elbows with the peons or bother to get to know them.

Another Republican a**hole.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Since Labrador takes that line, let him be the first one to cancel all his family health insurance.

Put your health where your mouth is, Labrador.

[retrowire]

9. Nobody has ever died because they couldn't get to the hospital

or afford the healthcare

or get the epipen

or whatever.

Republicans. MASTERS OF LOGIC.

(but not of sarcasm)

[Blue Idaho]

11. That's my congressman...

He's a complete dipshit that believes he raised himself without the help from anyone - including his single mom.

[Bengus81]

13. That's going to be their talking point if ACA is repealed..........

If you die it's all YOUR fault for not finding some way to get a Don'tcare policy. Sell all your cars,sell your home,take out a loan..............

[Vinca]

14. Someone should have asked which ERs do surgery and chemotherapy.

[Plucketeer]

17. I like that question!

I may have to spring it on some Rubes I know.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

18. Let's test that theory...

Drop Rep. Raul Labrador and the rest of the 217 house shills in the middle of the Sahara without food and water. Let's see if 217 make it out alive!

[Cadfael]

19. Picking my jaw up off the floor.

Republicans- their arrogance and ignorance are absolutely stunning!
