Every Twelve Minutes . . .

According to the American Journal of Public Health, someone in America dies every 12 minutes because they don't have health insurance coverage. That means that if you are an adult age 64 and younger who lacks health insurance, you have a 40 percent higher risk of death than someone who has coverage. By the way, 14,000 people a day are entered onto the rolls of those without insurance. And the GOP Congressmen and Senators who enjoy health insurance at taxpayer expense go on fighting "Obamacare," using retirees with Medicare and VA benefits who protest coverage for everyone as their reasoning. When really these protesters are being manipulated by misleading emails, news coverage that does not fact check, and perfidious pundits.



So you still want them in office?
