If one checks out Medicare you'll find that if this woman's husband's doctor had perscriobed such a treatment that the treatment would be provided...

Those who say the government will ration health care are ignorant... Even poor folks on Medicaid have better patient rights then folks in private policies... Okay, the treatment might not be as timely as those who are in Congress but these folks won't be refused either...

This entire health care debate is not a debate at all... It is a rumble that bears little resembelnce to democracy... It is a bunch of racists and haters who are takin' advantage of the fact the Repubs will take anyone these days as supporters... Gun-nuts... Anarchists... Loonies... Don't matter much and the health care reform debate has brought the extreme fringe out of the woodwork...

But back to neigbors helping out... Yeah, yer rooh blow off and maybe ... But ask a room full of loonies to pitch in a few hundred bucks here and there and you'll find a lotta folks who write checks like man with no arms...
