[Ads-l] QOTY: "Nobody dies because they don't have access to health care."

[Joel Berson]

AP 1:20 PM via Yahoo News.


Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho drew sharp criticism and booing at a town hall Friday for his response to an attendee who expressed worry that the House bill would hurt Medicaid recipients.


The woman in Lewiston said: "You are mandating people on Medicaid to accept dying."



Labrador, who is a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, responded: "That line is so indefensible. Nobody dies because they don't have access to health care."
