Rep. Jeff Guice: “Sick Children Should Die If Their Parents Can’t Afford Medical Supplies”
http://dcpols.com/rep-jeff-guice-sick-children-should-die-if-their-parents-cant-afford-medical-supplies/When a Mississippi mother sought help because she couldn’t afford to get supplies for her diabetic daughter’s insulin pump, state Rep. Jeff Guice (R) was less than helpful.
Nicole Nichols wrote to Guice and three other legislators when the company that usually supplied them with the needed supplies began to outsource their products to a company that is not covered under Medicaid. Nichols, like other struggling parents, are having a hard time coming up with the more than $2,000 a month needed to keep her 8-year-old daughter, Bella, healthy.
“We have recently begun having a lot of problems with Medicaid/CHIPS coverage for the essential diabetes supplies needed, not only to keep our kids healthy, but to keep them alive,” she wrote. “Is there someone in the legislature that can and will help these children stay healthy? They must have these medications and supplies which administer the medications to stay healthy and, quite honestly, alive!”...
“I am sorry for your problem,” he wrote. “Have you thought about buying the supplies with money that you earn?”

.... sub-human congressional member at very best 
Jeff Guice says it loud and clear!
"let them eat cake" bullshit.
He may not have said what's in the quote, but he said the same thing by implication.
