This Rep rattles off the name of all those that are dead due to lack of insurance and thereby access to health care and the Republicans try to shut him up. When he wouldn't.. the end the session on the floor..
Disgusting!! I lose respect for the Republicans party every day!
What a crackpot this guy is. He's really milking his 15 minutes.
Lack of insurance does NOT equate to access to healthcare in this country. And where are the facts? They should have shut him up, then kicked him out until he could actually conduct himself as a member of congress should.
Grayson is the most wacked out nutcase in Congress which is hard to believe considering Palosi and Reid are there. He is looking for attention and is USING the dead for his moment in the lights.
Show me the FACTS. You claim he is speaking the facts. Where is the proof to back up every name he said. If there is none then it is him grand standing and it is getting old.
Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.
Overall, uninsured people between the ages of 25 and 64 were 25% more likely to die than their same-aged insured counterparts, concluded the 2002 Institute of Medicine report from 2000 data. This increased mortality equaled an additional 18,000 deaths in 2000. The Urban Institute found that lack of insurance caused 22,000 adults' deaths in 2006

They found that kids who lacked health insurance were 60% more likely to die in the hospital than were kids who had insurance. After adjusting for such differences as race and gender, uninsured kids were still 37.8% more likely to die than kids with insurance coverage.
1-Prove those people he named died souly due to lack of health insurance.
I agree they all live in a bubble
People die with insurance.
Since i'm not in his state and do not have access to that information as he does.. I don't.. but I refer to the articles and studies I linked to.
Denial is a very sad state to live n . I guess ignorance is bliss. You can't find yourself actually caring about something you refuse to look at and/or admit happens.. I guess whatever helps yOU sleep at night
GEe.. you have a fatal disease like cancer, no money to pay for medical treatments (at the inflated uninsured price) and no insurance to gain access.. equals death!! It's pretty clear when someone dies because they didn't or couldn't receive treatment.. that lack of treatment cause their deaths!!
That's okay.. you all make excuses and poo poo it to death.. doesn't change the facts.
No, it's not the Repubs fault they don't have insurance. BUT it's the Repubs fault why they won't as long as they stand in the way of reform.
Why do we have to go from Plan A - Current System to Plan ZZ without looking at Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, Plan E, etc.......Why the EXTREMELY radical change?? Why not allow for purchase of health insurance across state lines and limit lawsuits AKA Tort Reform (Obama can't do that...he has the attorney's in his pockets)to see what happens to cost?? Why are we throwing out the bathtub, tiles, bath towels, wash cloths, soap, shampoo, and the baby with the bath water?? The government has FAILED miserably at EVERYTHING they have ever gotten their grimy paws on (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, HUD, U.S. Post Office, etc, etc, etc)...come on people, why in the WORLD would anyone actually believe that they will suddenly be prudent, efficient, and cost cutting???? If that isn't enough, they also have UNDERESTIMATED the total cost of EVERY social program they have EVER instituted........What a joke.....it's as clear as the nose on my face but I guess I'm a "radical" or some other nonsense.......

There's just a few!
No, no, no. I want the proof of the names HE named if he does not have it then he should not be speaking.

This is not a radical change.
This is basically a bailout for the insurance companies. They will gain lots of new customers they can rip off and try to deny care to when the people get sick.
Selling health insurance across state lines is a HORRIBLE idea.
Yes I know people with insurance die but those without insurance are at an increased risk of dying due to a lack of health insurance.
All of them don't live in a bubble but the majority do.
The bubble belongs to those like you who believe that the government will suddenly become "efficient", "cost cutting", and "responsible"......ludicrous at BEST!!!!
