How despicable is completely despicable?

E.J. Dionne answers:

"The greatest insult Republicans issued was to the men and women who work for them. The GOP’s claim that members of Congress and their employees have an “exemption” from Obamacare is a lie. On the contrary, they are the only people in the country with an existing employer health plan who have been required to buy insurance on the ACA’s exchanges."

Alan: The current incarnation of The Republican Party is a greater threat to America and American Democracy than Osama bin Laden and the assembled forces of Islamic jihad. 

How so? 

Taking just one measure... 2700 people died on 9/11. 45,000 people die annually for lack of universal health-care.
