Grayson Reads The Numbers Of The Uninsured Dead From Republican’s Districts
Say Anything —
Everybody’s favorite whack-job democratic congressman was at it again last night.
He spent about twenty minutes reading the number of “uninsured dead” from each Republican Congressman’s district. I’m not sure just where he got that number, or how he can show that because someone is or was uninsured they didn’t recieve care.

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Last night, the House Republicans tried, and failed, to squelch a speech that I gave on health care last night. I intend to vote for the health care bill, because that bill saves lives. And I also intend to speak out, as loudly as I can, on behalf of those Americans who cannot speak out, those have died because they had no health insurance. And the Republicans tried, and failed, to shut me down, to shut down the truth.
Here's what happened.
I had reserved an hour on the Floor of the House for a "special order." When the hour began, I noted that a Harvard study had concluded that 44,789 Americans die each year because they have no health insurance. I also ...
