"No Americans ‘die because they don’t have insurance’" Mitt Romney

You hear this lie repeated over and over again on Right Wing Radio.  Their listeners seem to believe this
lie, no matter how many times it's proven false.
The Truth?  
In  the USA, one person dies every 12 minutes because they lack health insurance and can not get good
care.  That's a total of nearly 45,000 people each year.

Overall American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40% higher risk of
death than those who have coverage.  
(Harvard Medical School)

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

This is more desperate pandering to save the President -- yet it is TOO late.

alot die because of bad choices.....NOT BECAUSE HEALTH INSURANCE....is the insurance system 'weighted'....YOU BETCHA...
but by guilt it has the best return for those pensions/401k's etc.....playing the vig is what we do best as Americans....

live live live live....until that brick wall shoots up in front of your face....then some folks die trying to get over/under/around/through
it and some live......

that's life....MEDICINE IS NOT A GOD/HEALTH INSURANCE IS NOT A GOD......they are 'fear of dying snake oil'...which is OK as long
as folks know that....THEY ARE NOT EXACT SCIENCES....

Romney is still wrong because he only told 1/2 truth


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
