  • This is the health care Americans get, since they won't join the First World countries and adopt universal single-payer care, where pre-conditions don't count.

    These other countries say that all critical cases like Robin's when spread over the whole population do not appreciably increase cost, and are affordable.

    But the lobbyists have given Max Baucus and Chuck Grassley enough campaign contributions to keep these rescissions in the health care reform bill,

    And Republicans say: "Damn Right!"

  • Personally, I'd rather have Rep. Barton know how to tackle BCBS than a drill bit. Robin, your old pals from work in the NICU are proud of you and keeping you in their prayers......

  • She's doubly blessed, having survived cancer and Barton's intervention!

    You go girl!

  • Government assisting citizens with health care it's good and all that. But isn't Joe Barton the guy who does not know where oil comes from? If I recall, he had to ask the energy secretary that question to find out but he was still left confused after he got the answer.
