C-SPAN coverage of the House of Representatives has shown Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) taking to the floor at night to read the names of  Americans who have died from lack of health insurance in Republican districts.   He plans to continue reading names and their personal stories to the nation. 

"Is it really asking too much of us that we keep people alive?" he asked.  "We can save these people, or we can let them die."

"Alabama District 1, Congressman Jo Bonner, 114 dead."
"Alabama District 3, Congressman Mike Rogers, 88 dead."

Why would Republicans object to this information getting out to the nation?

Jim1-->>Is he right to make health care so glaringly real??

Sarah Palin for 2012 - 2014 ½ :
When the going gets tough, quit.

Cal-->>I think Grayson's idea is brilliant -- naming Congresspeople and the number of
deaths in their districts caused by lack of medical care.

What, no names to go along with the purported dead in a district? 

<< What, no names to go along with the purported dead in a district? >>

He hasn't done it yet. But it would be a good idea if he would do it in
the future.

Jim-->>If the information from the Urban Institute is a 'lie',   I'm sure you can explain, in detail,  how it is a 'lie'  because everyone should have the option to see how you come to your conclusion.

Pay attention to detail and you will not lie about what I wrote.  What I said was that the simple mathematics used is not correct.  One can not take the national statistical information of a 16 year old study and apply it to a individual district in the here and now.  If a Republican tried doing such a thing, you would be charging the Republican with using fuzzy math!!!!

By the way, what did you think of the authors assumption on the living???

Jim-->>No,  you said Mr. Grayson was lying and have never addressed the mathematics of the Urban Institute. 

Since the Institute did not calculate on the basis of house districts, what is in question is Grayson's mathematical use of the Institute's findings at a district level.

Moreover, the suggestion that health care reform would greatly reduce the deaths due to the lack of medical insurance is spurious.
