And — no coincidence! — these are the two states with large populations of people living below the poverty line — states that have refused to expand Medicare/Medicaid, even though the feds are offering to pay between 95% and 90% of the cost of the coverage for more Americans of limited means, in every state in the union.

My central point is to call BS, on Mirengoff’s statement this morning, thus:

“…Access to health care may be “insufficient,” but I doubt there is less of it now than there was before Obamacare expanded free and partially subsidized health care. Yet, life expectancy has been declining….”

So… the idiot denies the reality created by… the state governors in red states: life-expectancy is declining most sharply in… yup… Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Florida.

So — Paul, you have only your own barbarous GOP denial of medicines policies to blame here.

Just sit down, chucklehead.

Out.
