Disabled Americans "Die In" To Protest Trumpcare

THIS
MORNING ADVOCATES FOR PEOPLE WITH BOTH INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
STAGED A PROTEST AND CEREMONIAL DIE IN OVER THE SENATE HEALTH
CARE BILL OUTSIDE THE OFFICE AS MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL.
HE OF COURSE WASN'T THERE.
BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE, COPS, WHO
DRAGGED BODILY THESE PROTESTERS OUT.
IT GOT UGLY AND VIOLENT.
WE
WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES
AND VIDEO.
YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE, AT LEAST 60 OF THEM CRAMMED INTO
THAT LITTLE HALLWAY.
THERE YOU SEE THE CHANCE, BUT THEY WERE ONLY ALLOWED TO DO
THAT FOR SO LONG.
THEN THE AUTHORITIES CAME IN.
YOU WILL
SEE JUST HOW UGLY IT GOT.
NO CUTS TO MEDICARE ñ NO CUTS TO MEDICARE ñ
SET HIM DOWN.
IN THE FIRST VIDEO YOU SEE A GUY BEING PICKED UP AND CARRIED
LIKE A SACK OF GREEN.
AND A SECOND ONE YOU SEE AN ELDERLY
WOMAN WHO WAS INJURED AS THEY WERE DRAGGING HER OUT.
THERE WERE REPORTS OF SOME PEOPLE BEING DROPPED AS THEY
WERE BEING CARRIED OUT.
IF YOU ARE A PROTESTER, WE WILL GET YOU
OUT.
IMAGINE IF SEN.
MCCONNELL CAME BACK AND YOU GUYS WERE
STILL THERE?
THAT WOULD BE TRAGIC.
IMAGINE IF HE HAD TO SEE PEOPLE WHO WERE ANGRY?
A VERY
EFFECTIVE PROTEST, THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE DIRECTLY
AFFECTED.
THEN YOU HAVE TO DRAG OUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DISABLED AND
SICK.
IT IS TOUGH TO LOOK AT.
I'M GLAD THEY HAD THE COURAGE TO
DO THAT.
OF COURSE THE MOST AMERICAN THING YOU CAN DO IS
PROTEST.
YOU HAVE TO CLEAR THE PEOPLE OUT, ON THE OTHER HAND
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE PATIENCE AND FIND A WAY TO PEACEFULLY
DISSIPATED OVER A LONGER PERIOD
OF TIME?
ONE PROTESTER SAID THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO KILL ME.
THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF
THE BILL.
WE HAVE BROKEN DOWN WHAT THIS THING WILL DO.
IT WILL
KILL PEOPLE.
THEY ARE NOT OVERREACTING.
I WOULD SAY
AMERICA IS UNDER REACTING TO HOW
DRASTIC THE CHANGES ARE.
I DON'T WANT TO GET PEOPLE ALL RILED UP IN THE WRONG
DIRECTION.
I KNOW EVERY BILL HAS CONSEQUENCES AND WHEN WE GO TO
WAR IT HAS DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.
AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU PUT
YOUR SHOES ñ YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK AND
THERE ARE THINGS LIKE LIFETIME LIMITS ON INSURANCE, OR IF YOUR
TREATMENT WOULD HAVE YOU RUN OUT
OF YOUR YEARLY CAP IN APRIL OR JUNE, AND THEN YOU DIE.
IT IS
UNDERSTANDABLE WHY THEY WOULD
WANT TO GO AND PROTEST.
THIS PARTICULAR BILL WOULD LITERALLY
KILL ME.
