I'm so disgusted..

This Rep rattles off the name of all those that are dead due to lack of insurance and thereby access to health care and the Republicans try to shut him up. When he wouldn't.. the end the session on the floor..

Disgusting!! I lose respect for the Republicans party every day!

yes its republicans fault someone doesnt have insurance.

Do you not know that democrats dont need a single republican to pass any healthcare bill you want.

So the attempts to blaming republicans doesnt fly its whining and avoiding its your own party that is stopping healthcare

Ok I want to know where he is getting his information from and how he knows for sure they died because they did not have health insurance. GMAFB I can rattle off names of people I know that have health insurance and died anyway. Ugh post the facts of where he got the name and the proof that it was from lack of health insurance until then it is just another grand standing moment for Grayson.

GEe.. you have a fatal disease like cancer, no money to pay for medical treatments (at the inflated uninsured price) and no insurance to gain access.. equals death!! It's pretty clear when someone dies because they didn't or couldn't receive treatment.. that lack of treatment cause their deaths!!

That's okay.. you all make excuses and poo poo it to death.. doesn't change the facts.

No, it's not the Repubs fault they don't have insurance. BUT it's the Repubs fault why they won't as long as they stand in the way of reform.

Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.

Show me the FACTS. You claim he is speaking the facts. Where is the proof to back up every name he said. If there is none then it is him grand standing and it is getting old.

Stand in the way? You dont need a single republican vote to pass Pelosis bill.

Put the blame where you want and by the way the free clinic here covers cancer treatment

Too bad more reps aren't bringing attention to those who die every year due to a lack of health insurance.

Too many in Washington are living in a bubble where they think things like this aren't happening every day.

How do you know these people didn't die from a lack of health insurance?
