This bill is going to end up killing people (through the removal of health insurance for the poor and those with "pre existing conditions"); even your most uninformed voter will come around once this starts being put into place.

I'm hoping for riots, but will accept replacing representatives through the voting process.

> This bill is going to end up killing people

I'm pessimistic that this will ever be known by those in swing states, let alone cared about. I've traveled to those places and met people there. They have normalized death due to medical complications and drug addiction. Why should more people dying make a difference there?

Roughly half the people in a swing state would tend to be people that agree with you (because that's what a swing state is...).

Edgy though, you hit that mark.

Our health care story in the United States has been killing people for decades, yet here we are.
