My best friend from Las Vegas has died at 27 for lack of healthcare
   
Can’t think very well today. My best friend, Michael, from Las Vegas has died from lack of healthcare at the age of 27, so I made a memorial blog for him. Did you see the 60 Minutes piece on Sunday about LV?



Something is not right here


Wait one ****ing minute. If you look a little, you notice three things: 1) why doesn't the bastard love child of Barack Obama and Barry Bonds have adequate healthcare coverage ( :-) )? 2) this guy has professional-looking photographs of himself done, as though he were a model, and 3) he apparently died because he needed a transplant. Sorry, DUmbasses, but when you take Universal Healthcare out of the box, you'll notice that it doesn't come with a set of spare organs to get you started.

Too bad the guy died, but...shit happens. And, as per usual since Jan. 20., BARRY DUMBAMA KILLED THIS YOUNG MAN.

a certain percentage of DU is depressed and has other mental issues.

WTF? How close of a friend was this guy?  He waited a month and a half to bring this up?

More likely that the DUmmie never knew the guy and is just using his death for attention.

And he died at the Mayo Clinic........the permere diagnostic center in the world!!     The same Mayo Clinic that certainly does not take welfare patients.......

Doesn't sound to me like this guy died for lack of healthcare, he had access to the best in the world........much is missing here....

Didn't read the BS, but, chances are, even if this guy had no healthcare he would have been on medi-caid/care, which if I am not mistaken, when you need a transplant you get put on a list. As tranplants and organs become available you move up the list. If you die before your name comes up, that's the way the organs bounce. So I call BS!

Think of it this way, someone else moved up a space on the list, so he might have saved someone's life!

Mainly an organ that would match him, from the sound of it.

I guess Obama was supposed to order the killing of more Chinese prisoners, huh?

33. And on Rush Limbaugh.
 Oxycontin Boy signed this young man's death warrant in 1994, when he killed THAT healthcare reform plan.


 

Well, at least someone put the blame right where it belongs. Of course it was Rush's fault. How stupid of us not to realize this right away.  :mental:

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.
