M.I.N.I.O.N.

In an article for the Columbus Dispatch, Mitt Romney told reporters: 

“We don’t have a setting across this country where if you don’t have insurance, we just say to you, ‘Tough luck, you’re going to die when you have your heart attack,’  ” he said as he offered more hints as to what he would put in place of “Obamacare,” which he has pledged to repeal.

“No, you go to the hospital, you get treated, you get care, and it’s paid for, either by charity, the government or by the hospital. We don’t have people that become ill, who die in their apartment because they don’t have insurance.”

Which is interesting given that according to Harvard Medical School researchers:

Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year — one every 12 minutes — in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care.

So instead of just getting furious at this news. DO SOMETHING.

Go to Mitt Romney on twitter, and tweet him the name of someone you know who has died because they didn’t have insurance. Their name, their age, what they died of just like this:

.@MittRomney Cheryl Fabrizio, 28, Skin Cancer, Uninsured. #theuninsureddie http://bit.ly/QkBbc7 

EVEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW SOMEONE WHO DIED WITHOUT INSURANCE, PLEASE REBLOG OR RETWEET THIS TO SPREAD THE WORD.
