Senate Dithers while Americans Die


by: ProgressiveInTexas

Thu Nov 12, 2009 at 01:49 PM CST



The following is a link to HTML/JAVA Clock, which counts deaths from lack of Health Insurance.  The count is based on 44,789 deaths per year from the American Journal of Public Health; the study Representative Alan Grayson cited on the House floor.

Death Count From Health Care Rationing

44,789 deaths per year equates to:

122.70 deaths per day
5.11 deaths per hour
1 death evey 11 minutes 44 seconds

Thanks for this (3.00 / 1)
It should continually be posted on the front page of all progressive blogs until HCR is passed and signed into law.

Kay Bailey Hutchison (0.00 / 0)
Our so-called U.S. Senator who is running for Texas governor, while refusing to step down from her Senate seat, i.e. MIA at taxpayer expense, obviously could give a rat's derriere about the uninsured and the dying.  

reid (2.00 / 1)
if there was any doubt that harry reid is impossibly incompetent as a leader, it should be erased by now.

he has run a horrible shop from the start and it IS getting worse.

pass the baton to someone that actually cares about the job and the country.

if we let some random jackasses from a losing party with a corrupt moral code dicatate policy, we are beyond stupid.

if reid even gets elected i would be shocked. if you straddle the fence, something in the middle of your britches will get hung up. and no one wants that.

Please refer to KT's signature.
