Sen. Tom Coburn---a MEDICAL DOCTOR, of all things, held up the health care package, today, with a filibuster, by having the minutes of the meetings read, word for word. I wrote Mr. Coburn a letter, telling him point-blank what I think of scumbags like him.
Anyone, and I mean, anyone, who would prevent nearly 50 million children, low income families, the elderly, the unemployed and the disabled, from getting doctor, dental and eye care, which many desperately need---care everyone with health care insurance in America, takes totally for granted...any human being, whom denies another human being, basic medical care--for ANY reason, is ignorant S-C-U-M.
In America, parents with a child with cancer, have the additional worry that they may lose their home and have to go live in a welfare motel--with a child with cancer, because either, their private insurance won't pay, or, they have no insurance at all.
No other country with nationalized medicine, has that issue. Only America. Not Canada, not England or Scotland, not France, the Netherlands, Belguim, Germany, Spain, etc. America stands alone in it's deliberate ignorance, naked greed, absolute selfishness and complete inhumanity.
People from Iraq come here, to find a better life...and many of them go back home, after a year or two, becuase they aren't prepared for the abject poverty and the hopelessness of life in America on the lower end of the scale.
Any questions why I want to not be a citizen of this not-so-great nation, any longer?
