Dear Mittens: So health coverage is just a "game" to you?

Really? This from a man who never went without health coverage for one second in all your overprivileged life. You do know, don't you, that about 50 million of your fellow Americans are forced to do without it? I don't know how many are without coverage because of pre-existing conditions, but I do know I am one of them. What do you have to offer us? Oh, that's right -- we don't exist for you. You don't give a damn about us. And you wonder why I for one would cut my own throat before I'd vote for you or any other Republican.

out of touch it's not funny!

He has no idea how scary it is to be without health insurance. To avoid the doctor, knowing full well to do so might be at your peril. To agonize over whether or not to go to the ER. "Should I risk dying, or racking up a HUGE bill for no damn good reason, putting my family's welfare at risk?"

When's the last time he agonized like that? When did he ever fear losing his home just because he wanted to get healthcare?!
