Rep. Raul Labrador [R-Westeros] (Twitter: @Raul_Labrador, DC: (202) 225-6611; Meridien: (208) 888-3188; Lewiston (208) 743-1388; Coeur d'Alene (208) 667-0127), to a constituent who was angry he’d voted to take away healthcare from 22,000,000 Americans, dooming some to premature deaths: “That line is so indefensible. Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care.”

A peer-reviewed, high-impact factor study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that being uninsured increases your risk of death by 25%.

    The good news is he left his seat in the house to run for governor, which he lost because even Republicans hate his ass!...
