I thought we were all going to die from global warming. Or is it we are all going to die because Trump is going to roll back EPA regulations? Or is we’re all going to die from nuclear war.

RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! We’re doomed!!!

I bet Jonathan Gruber contributed to the research for this story.

The plan the pub’s took off the shelf today would likely save up to 300,000 lives per year not including abortions. By seriously reducing healthcare cost and health insurance cost, you get a multiplier effect. When people pay their own med bill, they look for a better deal. that alone would drop prices 15-20%. If you get rid of the middle men (gov and insurance co) that’s another 40%. currently 1hr of md patient time requires 3hr of back office.)

If the trumpster gets the gov out of med, you could see a 75% reduction in cost and likely a 60% in spending. @ $2tr/yr that alone almost balances the budget.

But keeping it will kill 74,963.

I just pulled that from the top of my head the same way they did.

“...43,956 deaths annually.”

I hope they were all in the protests this weekend.

I don’t doubt your info. Good work, and thank you. I was being tongue-in-cheek with my posts. But it’s good to see you and others pushing back on the liberal narrative by providing opposing positive effects of repealing Obamacare. Me and my wife are fortunate to have good healthcare. Not so for my youngest daughter and her child, on Obamacare. She’s starting a new job next week that pays more than her old job, that’ll help offset healthcare costs. So much for the “Affordable” Care Act, a total disaster.

All along, they have been saying that ‘[11 million are signed up for Obamacare’. NOW it suddenly is 20 million?

Funny how those same TWO numbers are part of the lies about the invading illegals here.

I hope he gets the right ones. That crowd at the march might be a good pool from which to draw.

Same story as Chicago Tribune put out - fake scare tactics as the folks they are talking about have been kicking the bucket at a higher rate since Obama Care than before it.....
