Check in HERE if you know of someone who has died because he/she could not afford health care.
   
Please post your stories, or just check in.

My mother would be alive today if she had had access to health care. She was destitute and dying before she qualified for Medicaid. She died from a form of cancer that's highly curable if caught early.

Here we go again.

Check in HERE if you know of a very wealthy family who got that way because they sued the sweet complete shit out of some medical entity because said entity refused to treat a family member and said family member died.

Good Lord.  The "I didn't have $$ to pay for a doctor visit" can easily be translated to:

1.  I am scared of doctors offices so I didn't go.

or

2.  I am so self involved, I would rather pay for my cable TV than pay to go to the doctor.

I doubt that there are that many naive people that wither away into martyrdom due to a lack of insurance.  It is just a nifty blanket excuse, because no one wants to be responsible for themselves, and then do a bad job.

My great great great great grandfather died because he didn't have health insurance.  So did his kids, wife, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and dog.

Check in if you know someone that always had health care and was in good shape but smoked and got cancer or some other variation of the personal choices thing.

My great grandparents died without health insurance.  Of course, they were 89 and 97...  doesn't that still count?   :mental:

I have heard that dying is the leading cause of death, but little research is being done to prevent it.

This is out of the Obama Administration.

I know a trial balloon will fail when the DUmpmonkeys pick up on it.

I had an uncle that drank a lot.  People kept telling him that all that drinking would kill him....

Sure enough, it killed him....

He died 3 years ago, at the age of 91....

If we had socialized medicine they would all still be alive.
No one dies under O-care.

Rule #1: The death rate of all humans is 100%. 

Rule #2: You cannot change Rule #1, no matter if there is "free" health care for all or not.

BULLSHIT! All that is over now that the messiah has arrived. The only reason people are still dying is because we haven't incarcerated Rove yet.  :uhsure:

Well, that's one thing you don't have to worry about with a 200-year-old chick.

Check in here if you know of someone who, or if you yourself, went to Will Ferrell's website, Funny or Die, and actually died.  Even if you or they had or didn't have health insurance.

That would kinda suck, wouldn't it?  I mean when the zombie hordes of primitives roam the streets and countryside in search of other people's wealth, I'd kinda like 'em to drop for good when I pass the slug through their medula oblongata.  None of this "Cowboys and Indians" shit, where they lie down for 30 seconds then get up good as new again - or argue with you about who shot who where....

click HERE if you think the number of doctors and specialists won't DROP if universal healthcare is passed.
click HERE if you think the wait times to get a procedure won't increase.
click HERE if you think there will not be the same deductibles you are currently paying now with your employer's insurance plan.
click HERE if you think your doctor and YOU will make decisions about your health and not some suit who is only concerned about crunching numbers..
Click HERE if you believe you will have the same access to medical procedures as our senior citizens CURRENTLY have under MEDICARE(which is going to have massive CUTS if this bill gets passed.)
click HERE if you believe YOUR federal taxes won't go UP (that is you have a job)

CLICK HERE IF YOU ARE A TOTAL IGNORANT DUMBASS.
