The View's Jedediah Bila: Republicans were not celebrating people losing healthcare

“As far as how this sounded, he’s talking, basically, about a Republican Congress that just tried to pass a law that would kick 24 million people, women, children, who are at risk, off of the insurance rolls. And then they celebrated. They started to clap and — I mean, that to me is more obscene than what he said,” Behar said.

“It didn’t make you sick when they were celebrating?” Behar asked.

“What they’re celebrating — they’re not celebrating people being thrown off the rolls,” Bila described.

“Yes they are!” Behar exclaimed.

Just because 24,000,000 will lose coverage doesn't mean that the bill's self-serving proponents in Congress will.
