Meyers Mocks Fox News for Defending GOP Health Bill By Arguing that ‘We’re All Going to Die’

As we’ve said before the bill is essentially just a giant tax cut paid for with massive cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions more uninsured’

MEYERS: “As we’ve said before the bill is essentially just a giant tax cut paid for with massive cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions more uninsured. In fact, studies have shown that people could quite literally die as a result of this bill, with estimates ranging from about 28,000 to nearly 100,000 a year. But there are some who have a counter argument to those projections. And this will shock you, those people are on Fox News.” 
KENNEDY [clip]: “You know what the crazy thing is? We’re all going die, and they can’t predict it. There’s no way unless they’re absolutely psychic and have a party line to heaven, they know who’s going to die, or when, or how many people.” 
MEYERS: “Imagine if your doctor said, “Your test results came back and I have good news and bad news. The good news is we’re all going to die.” So the vote may be delayed for now, but that does not mean the fight is over. Republicans will do whatever they can to get us to think about anything else. they might even try to distract us with that famous dossier, you know the one that talked about — what was it?”
