Bernie Sanders (I-VT) held a rally against the GOP health care bill in Morgantown, West Virginia, where the self described democratic socialist said that the proposed bill would be worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“Now obviously nobody can predict exactly how many people will die if they lose their coverage. Nobody can make that prediction, but what experts at the Harvard School of Public Health estimate, is that if 23 million Americans were to be thrown off the insurance they currently have, which is what the House [GOP] bill would do, up to 28,000 Americans every single year could die. That is nine times more than the tragic losses of we suffered on 9/11, every single year.
