When Democrats were trying to pass Obamacare, the party line on the left was that without it, people would die.
Now that Obamacare is dying and may be repealed, they’ve gone right back to the same talking points.
Just a few days ago, Nancy Pelosi made the claim. Via CBS News:
Nancy Pelosi warns “hundreds of thousands of people will die” if GOP health bill passesHouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned Monday that the Senate GOP health care bill that could be voted on later this week would be extremely harmful to Americans who rely on their health insurance.In an interview on “CBS This Morning,” the California Democrat said while the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has not yet released its cost estimate of the measure, she can already predict one major effect.”We do know that many more people, hundreds of thousands of people, will die if this bill passes,” Pelosi said.
Bernie Sanders, via the Daily Caller:
Sen. Sanders: ‘Thousands Of People Will Die’ From GOP Health Care BillVermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said on MSNBC Friday that “thousands of people will die” if the Senate Republican health care plan is implemented.Sanders argued to host Andrea Mitchell that the American people and Democratic senators are united in opposition to the bill, which he claims will cause Americans to die.“Let us be clear, Andrea, and this is not trying to be overly dramatic,” he said. “Thousands of people will die.”
Elizabeth Warren via the Washington Examiner:
Elizabeth Warren on House GOP healthcare plan: ‘People will die’Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren called the House GOP’s plan to repeal and replace parts of the Affordable Care Act a “cruel” way to enrich the wealthy and cut insurance from many Americans.”Trumpcare isn’t a health care bill. A bill that destroys health care for millions to shovel cash to the rich isn’t a health care bill,” Warren tweeted.”This is the same cruel Trumpcare bill that @HouseGOP tried to pass weeks ago. Still strips coverage from millions & guts Medicaid,” she added.Warren added that too many Republicans are treating the bill like it’s a game.”This isn’t football. It’s not about scoring points. #AHCA will devastate Americans’ healthcare. Families will go bankrupt. People will die,” she tweeted.
This is exactly what they said in 2009. Who can forget Alan Grayson’s despicable rant?
With this in mind, the incredibly talented Remy of Reason has returned with a new instant classic.
Here’s a sample of the lyrics to his new song:
