Edited on Sun Aug-09-09 10:08 PM by nytemare
This woman lost her daughter after the nearest ER would not treat her because the health plan would not cover the care. She died after being transported to a hospital covered under the health plan.

These fucking wingnuts are going crazy when there is NOTHING in proposed legislation regarding these alleged "death panels", and this shit has been happening under their noses, and there is EVIDENCE that it has happened. But, I suppose "evidence" has a liberal bias.

1. Do we have to suffer for their stupidity?
Why can't our side organize and put Republicans and Blue Dogs in their place, at town halls? are we helpless?

3. Yes, we are helpless
But it is by design...The Blue Dog Faction, the DLC, etc...because that seems to create the illusion that we are still of the people, by the people, yada yada yada instead of beholden to the corporations.

5. Neither the DLC nor the Blue Dogs can stop an authentic grass roots uprising.
Howard Dean is out there, every day, trying to make this happen and, as long as he's willing to fight, not only will I refuse to give up but I'll get in those trenches right along with him. It's no understatement to say that real health care reform is one of the most pivotal issues of our time. We simply cannot afford to surrender.

7. I'm not sure why there isn't a big commercial campaign.
Address all the falsehoods, all the false allegations in commercials, over and over.

2. That girl died in the service of capitalism. Saving her life with socialism would be a sin.
They truely are insane.

6. Is that the same Kaiser that is held up as an example of "non-profit" health care?
That poor child must have suffered horribly before she died. :cry:
