in the OP and the referenced article.

The other side holds a very different view of both the costs and benefits of ACA. Idealistically, it would be better if we were all self-sufficient. Pragmatically, we simply can't all be so.

Nobody holds the view that people should die or go without. I don't see how it helps anyone to pretend that Walker wants whatever nonsense was ascribed to him in the OP.
