Republicans attack 2 year old SCHIP recipient

Republicans release the dogs on Bethany Wilkerson, a 2 year old who relies on SCHIP for her heart condition.

How much further will the Republicans go? As if the attacks on 12 year old Graeme Frost weren't enough -- they're sinking their teeth into this 2 year old.

Health care for 800,000 children like Bethany and Graeme costs one week in Iraq.

Tell Congress SCHIP works and to overturn Bush's veto: 1-866-544-7573.

Our healthcare system is broken. We have a system that counts on sick people for its funding. If we focused on prevention we would be in a much better condition.

jeAh7, Yes, I'd like to see Doctors have a heart, and save the child whitout hesitation, and without pay, as they used to do before the wealth was their primary goal... My wife works for a hospital that writes off millions in patient costs annually. If we weren't taxed to death we could afford to to be more charitable. Doctors could afford it more easily than most, which shows their true motivation.

the most powerful nation on the planet and half of you go mental beacause a two year old gets heart surgery provided by the goverment,that should be why you pay your taxes,are you even human,liberty and jusice for all if you can afford it.

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

so a poor innocent little girl shouldn't have a free heart transplant whilst millions of criminals are living a life of luxury in their holiday camps oops sorry i meant prison cells

It's been proven that the Frost family has three cars, two houses, and kids in private school. Why the hell should I have to pay?

[4me2cclearly]

And how do you come up with that? You sound like a fool.

[StoogeWatcher]

Dumbocrats want to give taxpayer-funded insurance to families with two houses, three cars, and kids in private school.

private chairty > government welfare

the government should not be taking money from others to pay for some one elses problem thay should make doctors care for the poor.. and pass a bill making medical school free..how many doctors would there be in 10 years????

[Opinionator52]

I agree 100%, and am one who keeps healthy naturally rarely ever seeing a doctor. I cured my type 2 diabetes through good nutrition, and although my Dr. is very proud of me she pushes big pharma to her other patients instead of nutrition. Now that baby boomers reach retirement we see prevention being finally recommended!
