Comrade Sanders : Scott Walker's ideology kills people

The Hill reports:
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in a speech Sunday night accused Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker of supporting an ideological agenda that kills people.

"Gov. Walker has allowed his right-wing ideology to prevail and to deny some 120,000 people in Wisconsin options to get into Medicaid and maybe, for the first time in their lives, have health insurance," Sanders told a rally in Madison ahead of Tuesday's Wisconsin primary, where the Vermont senator is projected to narrowly beat Hillary Clinton.

"I think that that is a disgrace," Sanders added, referring to Walker's decision not to accept federal money to expand health insurance coverage under Obamacare.

"As a result of that decision, there is no question that people will die, people will become much sicker than they otherwise would have become."

Accusing an elected official of causing deaths is unusual, even in heated primary campaigns.
Comrade Sanders has defended communism and 200 million deaths from it from the 20th Century.
