Need to drive home the rate of death
of the uninsured. Because it is terrifying. It drives home that every day those assholes in Congress wait, more people die.

This isn't about Liberals pushing some weird agenda down America's throat.

This is about saving lives, plain and simple, about being heroes, and not standing by while our fellow Americans suffer an unbearably cruel fate.

What about that doesn't the Right understand? Why don't they care about these people? Why does it matter nothing to them that innocent Americans are dying in the thousands?

I think these kind of arguments pierce to the moral heart of the matter and reveal just how morally bankrupt the Right is right now.

1. Of course, the rate of death gets into our polluted air, food, and water.
That's something else that corporate personhoods don't want discussed.

2. I've thought that maybe if we start using the phrase
"Right to Life" in the context of health care, maybe their two neurons will finally make the connection?

5. Olympia Snowe and others: "What's the rush?"
They don't seem to get it.
