From Blue Sage Views, a blog that is spokesperson for Dina Titus, or at least that is how it seems says this: "Happy Halloween! HCAN plans a Grim Reaper Festival, Thursday October 29th, 11:00 am to 11:45 am, at the Thompson Federal Building, 300 Booth Street, Reno, NV. Why? Because in Nevada approximately 23,310 people per year are losing their health insurance, 1/3rd of the NV population under the age of 65 are uninsured (841,000), and the Grim Reaper is getting 5 people per week for lack of health insurance coverage"

Where do they get these numbers? I asked, but they refuse to respond.
5 people per week because they lack health insurance? Where do they get that number? The 23,310 number is also bogus. They may have lost their job and health insurance, but how many of those 23,000+ also got new health insurance either through a new job or government health care in dire consequences. And 841,000 uninsured under 65? Again where are the statistics? In the country, there about 12 million legal citizens who do not have health insurance and Nevada has about 7% of them? We don't have 7% of the U.S. population, so I call bull on those numbers.
So, once again, another Dina Titus supporter just spouts some more lies about health care.
