So Hussein cut him off from Medicaid and killed him. I thought only private
health insurance denied care and killed people.

They can now thanks to the prescription drug program you tried to deny them.

How in world was that possible? People without insurance get no care in the
US.

Bullshit. I'd bet the fucking farm that they have cell phones and a big
screen TV. You can't sit here and lie to me that they couldn't come up with
80 bucks. With Husseincare they would have been put on a waiting list and no
amount of money could have saved him.

That's why we need to throw Hussein out on his ass.

Total bullshit. They skipped it because they had other priorities.

Calculating the number of people who die for lack of health insurance is
impossible and the study was political. People in many other countries have
insurance but no care and that's what you want to bring here with
Husseincare. That's a fact, so blow it out your ass.
Furthermore, more people who die HAVE health insurance die so obviously
heath insurance kills people. See how it works?
Reading the above is like reading all the left's accounts of all the people
Romney murdered and maimed with Bain Capital, so your credibly on such
matters is blown to shit.
But the most important point to be made here is that with Husseincare more
people will have insurance but fewer people will get care. That's a fact.
April 13, 2011 - The deficit-reduction plan unveiled by President Barack
Obama today strengthens a cost-control tool in healthcare reform that
organized medicine fears.
The savings mechanism is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the IPAB will advise Congress on ways
to curb the per capita growth of Medicare spending if it exceeds growth-rate
targets set by the law.
If it does not implement IPAB recommendations, Congress must enact policies
that save just as much, or else let the Department of Health and Human
Services make the cuts.

Krugman explains:
"About that advisory board: We have to do something about health care costs,
which means that we have to find a way to start saying no. "

Hussein explains that Husseincare's cost cutting remedy is to deny seniors
vital procedures when deemed too old or unworthy.
