Democrats are getting ever more desperate. So, they have started rolling out the children, implying that a few tragic stories should justify government taking over health care.

But at one of these sobfests, Dick Durbin (D-MI) reiterated a claim made by other Democrats when they want to expand govt into health care. He announced that 70 Americans die every day due to their lack of health insurance.

Hey, Dick, if that's true, then please explain why the DEMOCRAT bill provides virtually no health care benefits for four years after it passes? By your own numbers, that means the Democrats are letting more than 100,000 people die!

Mr. Durbin, what is your justification for deliberately killing a medium-sized town? Are you and your cohorts inflicting this mass death simply to save some money? Why does your bill not start full benefits immediately? What reason do you have, that justifies the 100,000 deaths that YOU have told us will happen?

Durbin noted that 70 Americans die each day for lack of health insurance. Yet, he said, Republicans want to go slow on health-care changes.

"How much time can we take?" Durbin asked.

Has Dick "Turban" Durbin (D-MI) made any further announcements, reconciling his statements that 70 Americans will die every day due to not having health insurance, with the fact that most benefits in his party's Health Care bill don't start for four years after the bill is passed?
