I think Bill Cassidy is the living dead. His teeth are gray. No one gets to see his forked tongue.

Oh, SCHIP. So, he can demise the ACA while he is still protecting children under the child's program. SLICK. At least as slick as oil. 

Here we go again. We had a dialogue about this, the children are covered by federal law, but, their parents aren't. Children are not assured of healthy parents. What happens if a parent is discovered to have cancer. No treatment? Decisions that are adverse to a parent's outcome?

This is all old dialogue. We have seen parents die when they could have had treatment to live and leave behind four young children. They can't afford the treatment, they can't afford the medicine and they literally die of preventable and treatment of disease.

This happens in Louisiana. What kind of nerve does Cassidy have to talk about what is best for the country when health care reforms he proposes aren't even instituted in Louisiana?

Cassidy needs to dedicate his focus to ending unnecessary deaths. It would help the quality of life in Louisiana immensely. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a 2014 study, report 259,000 preventable deaths each year. (click here)

The study examined the top five leading causes of death—heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, strokes, and unintentional injuries—that account for two-thirds of all deaths every year.

The CDC calculated preventable deaths by comparing each state’s current death rates with an average rate from the three states with the lowest death rates in these categories. The difference in actual deaths and expected deaths if a state had similarly low rates was labeled preventable deaths. The CDC was not assuming all risk factors could be eliminated, but was assuming states with high death rates could bring their rates in line with healthier states.

These potentially preventable deaths account annually for one-third of all deaths from the five top leading causes of death:

34 percent of all deaths from heart disease;
21 percent of all deaths from cancer;
39 percent of all deaths from chronic lower respiratory diseases;
33 percent of all deaths from strokes; and
39 percent of all deaths from unintentional injuries.

These diseases share several risk factors, such as tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, poor diet, being overweight, lack of physical activity, alcohol and diabetes. More importantly, these risk factors are modifiable.

Those obsessed with destroying President Obama's legacy are racists. Cassidy is one of them, Trump is another. They don't care about the country, they care about their twisted agenda.
