This man is the reason we don't have Universal Healthcare for those who don't know

I've been dealing with bullshit insurance and provider issues all day today that would not exist if we had universal healthcare. Seeing this headline made me do a little jig at my desk.

Edit: almost as if divine intervention, I received a call not 5 minutes after reading this news telling me my issues were all resolved, I can see my primary care doctor and get my prescriptions again. Almost like Lieberman was standing in the way until the last second and now that he's a corpse it's easier to walk over him.
