Daily Kos: The Real Killer Isn't Ebola — It's Republicans Who Block Medicaid Expansion

Tom Johnson, at NewsBusters, who reads this bilge so you don't have to:
In a Thursday post, Daily Kos writer Jon Perr alleged that Republicans’ refusal to expand Medicaid in twenty-five states “might be the greatest act of political spite in modern American history” and claimed, citing research published earlier this year, that it could lead to more than 17,000 “needless deaths” annually.

Perr contrasted conservatives’ cavalier attitude toward that statistic with the “virulent strain of right-wing outrage” over Ebola and asserted that Americans can strengthen their health-care system by voting Democratic in next month's elections, thereby “kill[ing] the GOPer virus dead in its tracks.”
As the election nears, the left's extremism is ramping up exponentially. They're going to get crushed, and it's hurting already.
