An American Dies Every 12 Minutes Due To Lack Of Healthcare (Harvard Medical School Study)

Americans are literally DYING for a public option. One every 12 minutes, according to a new study conducted by Harvard Medical School. And these numbers are INDISPUTIBLE. Even the doctor they interviewed in this video agrees that the numbers are air-tight. So let me get this straight. If the medical EXPERTS all agree that a public option is necessary, and 80% of Americans support a public option, and for God's sake even Bill O'Really? supports a public option, WHY exactly are we NOT getting a public option? (Insert ka-ching ka-ching sound effect here). Your days are numbered, Baucus. And don't think for a second that the blue dogs won't be the FIRST Democrats swept out the door if we get a health bill without a public option in it.

And ain't it funny how the right-wing mouth breathers who whip themselves into foaming-at-the-mouth frenzies over the very idea of a public option will then turn right around and demand that the Government protect the "right to life"? Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

Here's a link to the video of this report (the interview with the doctor is excellent): http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=15636111&ch=4226713&src=news

die because of lack of health care. So who are the terrorists here?

That's equivalent to fifteen 9/11s EVERY year. Yet the "culture of life" Republicans do nothing, and even worse than that, ridicule and intimidate those who DO try to do SOMETHING about it. Very nice analogy.

they bought.

are staggering...I hope this study gets lots of air time.

That rounds out to 273 people dying per day. Yes, the republinazis claim to be pro-life but they're not. Like the original nazis that they descended from, they're anti-abortion and worship company profits over individuals.

when someone is to sick to work or take care of themselves or their home. Maybe something that could be cured or controlled with the proper medicine and treatment.

Or how about people who are in pain but have no pain killers? Migraines without medicine, anyone?

It's horrible how people are dying, but it's also horrible how people are living.

Killing over 40,000 Americans would be considered by most Americans to be an act of war.

in the Wars on Terror, plus ~5,000 soldiers lives and how many Iraqi lives!

Why don't we "avenge" the deaths from the health insurance companies for lack of coverage!?!?!?
