Me: What an intellectually dishonest piece. It repeats Republican talking points, says absolutely nothing about fixing unethical private insurance practices, and ignores that more than 44,000 die each year from not having insurance.
Respondent: You’re “intellectually dishonest” because you don’t tell us where you get your information. These people would’ve died anyways even if they had insurance. And besides, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) says this is the crown jewel of socialism, so I believe her.

And, oh, yes — about procedure.
As shameless as tattooed strippers, Republicans who used every procedural trick in the book to ram bills down America’s throat when they were in power now rip into Democrats for doing likewise.
