Alan Grayson held up a Harvard peer reviewed medical journal article citing that over 44,000 Americans a year are killed in America as a result of no health care. Since 2001, Republicans have stood by and watched 352,000 Americans get killed by Health Insurance company lobbyists. That makes them statistically a greater real threat to Americans than Al Qeida. How much have we spent to stop the killing of Americans by Health Insurance Lobbyists?
Alan Grayson was asked to apologize. Not because he violated any rules. Not because what he said wasn't true. But because the Republicans said it hurt their feelings. Evidently, their "feelings" are more important to them than the lives of 352,000 Americans. (Which probably explains the numbers you see racing to oblivion above)
It's time to stop killing for the wounded ego of Republicans who failed to do their job and keep America safe from attack when the memo it was coming sat on their desks, and start saving American lives.
