gonna die.'

"On Wednesday, Sen. Bill Carrico (R-Grayson County)) blithely sentenced millions of Americans to death. Asked about the Americans who’ve been denied health care in states that have refused to expand Medicaid—a policy the Trump administration has encouraged—Carrico issued a heartless response.

“When your time’s up, you’re gonna die,” he said, according to Graham Moomaw, a politics reporter with the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Carrico made the comments at a hearing about Medicaid expansion. Virginia lawmakers are currently weighing whether to expand Medicaid in the state, to make more people eligible for health care.

As Politico reports, Virginia appears to be on the cusp of expanding Medicaid, Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is expected to sign the bill if it gets to his desk."

This disgusting pig already looks like he has one foot in the grave. It would be a shame if his "time was up" soon.

2. He'll demand everyone do everything possible when his time is near.

I just hope someone is there to tell him "sorry, we can't do that" .

4. What an assinine comment. He has his, tough others will have to suffer...not my problem.

People like him have probably never lost anyone close or had a life-threatening diagnosis. They have no compassion nor feelings for anyone beyond their little cocoon. Real Christian attitude and one to run on.

Be sure and let your constituents know how you feel about those cuts. I'll bet their ears will perk up over that one.

6. He ran unopposed in the last election. These are the seats that Democrats have to start going

after. These are the seats we can win:

"Elections for the office of Virginia State Senate took place in 2015. A primary election was held on June 9, 2015. The general election took place on November 3, 2015. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was March 26, 2015. No Democratic candidates filed for election. Bill Carrico was unopposed in the Republican primary and was unchallenged in the general election."

8. Well, we'll have to remember his name and follow him more closely.

That baby face isn't too impressive...needs a few worry lines.

[ooky]

5. Hopefully the voters will decide that his time is up, soon.

What an asshole.

7. Looks like he's not up for re-election until 2020, dammit - but I hope his words and vile attitude

are parroted back to him someday soon by his FUCKING PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

[KelleyKramer]

9. I wonder if he tortured or killed animals as a kid

This guy has the traits of a psychopath mass murderer

Sickening

[ellie]

10. Spoken like a real

rebuke. God I hate these people.

[OhioBlue]

11. wow - so maybe he thinks we should have no health care whatsoever? Or no ERs?

Every American has had a loved one experience a life threatening condition or illness that has either fully recovered or had an extended life that let them contribute to family memories. He is a heartless pig.
