Pelosi - Hundreds of Thousands Will Die
2017-06-26
In an interview on "CBS This Morning," the California Democrat said while the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has not yet released its cost estimate of the measure, she can already predict one major effect.

"We do know that many more people, hundreds of thousands of people, will die if this bill passes," Pelosi said.
But everyone will live forever if we defeat it!
Pelosi, 77, said there's no room to fix the legislation and instead Democrats and Republicans should focus on improving Obamacare, "instead of sabotaging it," she said.
Reducing the burden on taxpayers is sabotage of Obamacare - I get it.
"These bills, systemically, structurally, they are very, very harmful to the American people," she said. "They will raise costs, with fewer benefits, have an age tax...they will undermine Medicare, they will throw millions of people, tens of millions of people, off."
Throw them off? A cliff, Madame Speaker? Have you read the bill yet? Can't the Pubs pass it to read what's in it?
Democrats, she said, have to "fight for our lives and the lives of many people" in the U.S. this week to defeat the Senate bill.
Just not fight for the taxpayers.
Meanwhile, Pelosi dismissed calls by a select few House Democrats who said last week that she should step aside from her leadership position in the wake of two more special election losses last week.


"I'm a master legislator," she said. "I'm experienced in terms of knowing the institutional memory of the Congress. If Hillary Clinton had won, I might have gone home. But with Donald Trump in the White House, with a Republican majority in Congress, no way."
Institutional memory of Congress? The mind boggles.

#8  The poor quality of treatment and delays inherent in an extortion-funded treatment rationing monopoly will kill far more.

#7  I'm sure the Pope might point that out to a fellow Catholic who supports Planned Parenthood funding, and it not being 'will' as 'have'.

#3  "I'm a master legislator"

Who in ANY job ever makes such a public proclamation? Good God the hubris of that incompetent, evil bitch.

#2  It doesn't make sense. How can Nancy be badmouthing this bill if she doesn't yet know whether more Dems or Trunks will die?

#1  Nice violent rhetoric, bitch.

Republicans are evil and will kill you all.

I really can't wait for the day she kicks her oxygen addiction.
