The Patriot Post® · 'Get Over Your Damn Glibness'

During Jonathan Gruber’s testimony before Congress Tuesday, Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told the emotional story of her husband’s October death, in part because of the failings of ObamaCare. “My husband was having chest pains at the time that he was told we were not enrolled in ObamaCare, and come to find out he didn’t have all of the tests that he was advised by his physician to have,” she said. “So, on October 24, the week before election, my husband went to sleep and never woke up. He had a massive heart attack in his sleep at age 65.” Nearly overcome with emotion, she continued, “I’m not telling you that my husband died because of ObamaCare. He died because he had a massive heart attack in his sleep. But I am telling you that during the course of time that he was having tests by a physician, and was told we were not covered by ObamaCare, that he then decided not to have the last test the doctor asked him to have.” Lummis added, “There have been so many glitches in the passage and implementation of ObamaCare that have real-life consequences on people’s lives.” Then, in a direct rebuttal to Gruber’s faux apology for having made “glib” remarks, she concluded, “And the so-called ‘glibness’ that has been referenced today have direct consequences for real Americans. So get over your damn glibness.”
