of the graphic. (Will kill more people each year than guns *in states that turned away Medicaid expansion*.)

Still, nuance detracts from the message, even if it is more accurate.

This state is still the wild west in a lot of ways and local government meetings have been known to erupt in gunfire. I suppose she realized that her life insurance policy would be canceled had she gone with the rest of the GOP and left people to die with no access to Medicaid.

Show this to the media and watch them scurry for the darkness.
Isn't it amazing how little Americans hear about these facts, compare with the insane ranting over a website glitch.

I'm hoping that I'll find employment soon, but it is discouraging to either be over-qualified or discriminated against due to my age. If things don't break within the next few weeks I might be part of the 3,000 since I can't continue the current housing situation for long because my friend's sons are returning from college in May. I have too many health problems to survive on the streets as a homeless person.

I believe the majority of gun deaths are accidental and/or "self defense"

About 44,000 deaths/year nationwide have been due to a lack of access to Health Care.
I have been waiting for this state by state breakout.

Republicans in Red States that turned down the Medicaid Expansion are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for these deaths.
"They are Killing their OWN people has been used to justify a Military Intervention in foreign countries.

I'm NOT calling for a Military Intervention.
I AM calling for the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC to post these numbers on Billboards across the Red State Exclusions,

It's supposed to be humor, but it's so close to what the scary fundamentalists who are determined to impose THEIR religion on you by force, that to me it's not funny. It's frightening.
