26. Dear God. My heart goes out to you, your family and your sister.
This is what I'm talking about. This bill is not perfect, but damn it to hell it will do so much good for so many people currently in need. And these "purists" on this board are like perfection. Nothing would be perfect for anyone. Everything is subjective. If this bill were perfect for me, gym memberships would be paid for by the government. But it won't be. And this is the first round, we have conference and a vote by the bloody senate. There is a lot to do and I for one support a step to doing some cleanig. Even if it's not a full renovation. People like your sister shouldn't have to suffer as she did or are doing right now. I shouldn't have to ration my meds because I can't afford due to lack of insurance. And the Dems on here and that Kucinich..ugh. I'm too disgusted.
