Tea Party Debate Audience Cheered Idea of Letting Uninsured Patients Die
Randian disciple Paul Ryan himself said

“The idea of Obamacare is … that the people who are healthy pay for the people who are sick,” Ryan said. “It’s not working, and that’s why it’s in a death spiral.”


That is the goddamn definition of how health insurance works. If THAT is unacceptable, then there are two options:
1) Have the state provide healthcare to the sick
2) Let those sick people die

We know the GOP is opposed to option 1 because we don't want to end up like Canada, right?

Cystic fibrosis patients living 10 years longer in Canada than U.S.

But the GOP seems more and more keen on option 2.
