In a nutshell, isn't that what all this discussion about healthcare and access to insurance is all about? Are Republicans simply ok with close to 50,00 people dying each year due to Lack of Insurance? Because they die quietly and without fanfare, do the Republicans think we can just ignore these American deaths?
The Democrats are here to say, oh no you can't and we won't.
Republicans are more interested in not violating their pledge to uphold Grover Norquists' fifth grade epiphany about all taxes being bad than they are about saving lives.
Let's be clear, if the Republicans actually cared about all the Americans dying from lack of insurance, they would have come up with a plan by now. Okay, actually, they did come up with a plan and the Democrats passed it.
But because it was Democrats who passed it, now they have to pretend to dislike it and to have to repeal it, even if MORE American lives are lost due to their inhumane hubris, dog-in-the-manger-ism, and complete lack of priorities and simple human decency.
This isn't about taxes, it's about lives. It really is just that simple.
