However there are those that refuse these benefits. Republican States refuse their constituents!

What the hell are they thinking! They lie and people die!

Damn them all to hell!

It is time to vote these bastards out. It is time for The People to have affordable healthcare. For once, just for once let them think of The people.

Death Panels Come To Life as Thousands Will Die In Obamacare Obstructing Red States

REPORT: 27,000 Will Die Because Republican States Refuse To Expand Medicaid

The 25 GOP-led states that are refusing to expand Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act are not just turning down an estimated $42.6 billion in 2014 alone, they’re also missing a chance to save 27,000 lives — according to a new study from the pro-expansion group Health Care for America Now (HCAN).

HCAN’s projection is based on a Harvard School of Public Health study published in 2012 in the New England Journal of Medicine that compared states that had expanded Medicaid to childless adults to those who hadn’t:

The mortality rate in expansion states was 6.1 percent lower than in the neighboring expansion states. For every 500,000 adults gaining Medicaid benefits, 2,840 deaths would be prevented each year, the researchers found. Put another way, for every 176 people added to the Medicaid rolls, one life would be saved.

An estimated five million residents of states that haven’t expanded the program will find themselves in a “coverage gap,” where they will neither qualify for Medicaid nor be able to afford a policy in the insurance exchanges. Applying that 1-in-176 formula to five million uninsured, HCAN comes up with the 27,000 lives that may be lost.

Thanks ProSense, damn I am overwhelmed by these heartless bastards. I don't know what to say about them anymore. It's true I guess, they just want us to die.
