The GOP Facebook page for Pasco Co. needs more feedback about Bill Akins's LIE,
and his disrespect for his constituents.
They’ve been getting some highly critical feedback since Bill Akins, the Secretary of the Florida county’s GOP, first stood up and lied about there being a death panel in the ACA for 75 year olds.
When the audience loudly corrected him, he doubled down and mocked the audience, calling them “children.”
Now some of them are speaking up on the county’s Facebook page.
You don’t have to be on Facebook just to read the comments, but you need to be logged in in order to add your own thoughts about Bill Akins’s disrespect of his constituents.

"Here's the problems I have with The Affordable Health Care Act. Number one, there is a provision in there that anyone over the age of 74 has to go before what is effectively a death panel," he said to screams from the crowd. "Yes, they do. Yes, they do. It's in there, folks."
As protestors booed and yelled, he called them "children." An unnamed woman spoke up at the town hall, saying that it is "unconscionable" for Akins to use this debunked line.
"I am 77 years old and I think it's unconscionable for this politician to tell me that at 74, I will be facing death panels," she said. "Wrong, wrong, wrong."
As the crowd cheered, Akins screamed "I'm on your side!"
