‚Thousands of people will die‘<\/b>
\nSenate Republicans just released the text of their health care bill Thursday and liberals and Democrats are already predicting thousands of deaths if the bill is passed.
The outrage and doomsaying matches, if not exceeds, that of when the House version of the bill was passed.
\u201cMy phones have been ringing off the hook from people like\u2026the family whose got a person in opioid addiction treatment right now and they know that their daughter will die if she doesn\u2019 t have that, \u201d said former Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear.
An MSNBC guest similarly predicted that \u201cthat homeless mom is going to notice [tax cuts on the rich] when her baby can\u2019 t go to healthy baby care, trust me.\u201d
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders made the claim twice, once with CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper and once with MSNBC\u2019s Andrea Mitchell that \u201cthere is no question\u2026thousands of people will die.\u201d
His pal Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, infamously claimed on Thursday that tax cuts in the Senate health bill are \u201cblood money\u201d and causing people to die.
Sen. Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, a Republican, even joined in on the action, bringing up Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s infant who was born with a heart issue.
Cassidy said the Senate bill only \u201cbegins\u201d to pass what he calls the \u201cJimmy Kimmel test, \u201d which is ensuring infant children can get care they need even if their parents do not have health insurance.
