46. Schiavo may help us.

By pointing out that the "right to life" is deserved by everyone, we can make the case that denying health care to 45 million Americans is not only heartless, but violates the principles the Republicans claim to stand for. They can't have it both ways. If Terri hadn't had coverage to get the feeding tube put in, she would've been dead 12 years ago. How many Americans die every day because they're denied health care? I bet we'd be surprised. If the Republicans feel so strongly about this, they should ensure everyone has the chance to live.
