Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) could not say on Wednesday where he got the information that "thousands will die" if Obamacare is repealed.
Sanders made the claim while speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper but could not provide any specific sources that backed his assertion, instead referring to "studies that have been done.

“Wait. Or am I thinking of The V.A.?”
He’s pulling the numbers out of a lower orifice.
Gran’pa is lying.
He made it up, like Liberals do for most of their facts.
HE CANNOT SAY BECAUSE HE MADE IT UP! But the sycophant Media parrots anything that any Dem says to try to destroy what our new President is trying to do. Why isn’t this kind of stuff considered sedition? Lying to destroy their ‘enemy’? (and bring down a Government with which they ‘disagree’?)
Probably the same place where Tom Price got his info that nobody will be worse off under the new plan. Both sides are making claims and promises that they can't backup or fulfill. Politics as usual.
He got his numbers from Harry Reid.....
Got BIG news for you Bernie.
EVERYBODY will die, whether Obamacare is repealed or not. Whether everybody sees a doctor once a week or not.
It’s called The Circle of Life.
Sanders is dumber than dirt.....next ?
“I’m making shirt up as I go along.”
It’s not thousands, it’s billions. We’ll all die if Obamacare is repealed . . . or if it’s not.
"If Bernie Sanders gets reelected to the Senate, virtually all of your friends and loved ones will DIE in the next 80 years!
From reading that liberal nonsense before 0bamacare was voted in that people would be dying in the streets if it wasn’t passed.
I can see a couple snowflakes dyin’ from being over-triggered
“I dreamed it. Right after I had another of my rape fantasy dreams.”
LOL.... if Obama care is repealed millions will die. If it is not repealed MILLIONS WILL DIE. When did the liberals cure death? I missed that headline.
Let us parse these numbers a little. Over any given period of time, people WILL die. As to whether it is because they do not have access to purchase a card that says they have coverage or not, that is actually immaterial to this dialogue. With or without Obamacare, approximately the same number of people will die. Some because they did not have Obamacare, and some because they DID have Obamacare. In sum, Obamacare ends up killing off about as many as those with no access to any insurance at all.
Delay in delivery of services, or outright denial, because of the restrictions built into the mandates of Obamacare, is just as deadly as simply not having the means to seek medical assistance. Worse, Obamacare itself gives the applicant a double whammy, in that there is an imaginary “safety net” the client believes to be available, only to learn that the deductibles are so ruinously high, that the services do not kick in until the patient has spent himself (or herself) into penury and even financial chaos.
Thousands have already died under zerOcare.
