Health-care reform will literally kill you. This is the level of absurdity to which conservatives have actually descended. As Steve Benen observed, “As Republican desperation has become more palpable, there’s a preoccupation with the ‘reform = literal death‘ meme.”

The examples are legion, but here are a couple to give you the flavor. Louie Gohmert of Texas delivered a bizarre rant on the House floor in which he claimed, “One in five people have to die because they went to socialized medicine! Now I’ve got three daughters and a wife. I would hate to think that among five women, one of them is going to die because we go to socialized care.”

When Bill O’Reilly asked Dick Morris (who, let’s be honest, is probably upset that the public option won’t cover therapeutic visits to prostitutes who let you suck their toes) what the plan would mean for a regular guy, Morris responded, “Obama’s plan is gonna kill you.”
