We are not a porr country nor are we rich we don't have enought to give every single person instant access to every treatment they might need and or want but every person who comes through our ED emergently will get treated. they don't get told you don't have insurance go away and the govt doesn't say (like some insurers do) no more funds or we wont cover that or other such nonsense. See Susanne Gordan's blog for more (she is an American patient (and therefore nurse) advocate that i met last year who is great:)JacquiBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10922918304251333415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-32628718152694460782010-03-22T16:08:10.365-07:002010-03-22T16:08:10.365-07:00I think your point about the threat being added to...I think your point about the threat being added to the insult is really important.

This racism issue regarding our President always gets me - he is as much white as he is black, yet people see what they want to see.<br />3. I think everyone on Facebook swallowed a meaniehead pill this week. Suddenly political opinions are in high supply and civility is coming up short.<br /><br />I always enjoy your posts.

If this kind of behavior is acceptable within the halls of Congress, we're lucky the mouthbreathers aren't wrapping pipe bombs in used teabags and lobbing them at the White House.<br /><br />The kind of hatred - racism, homophobia, misogyny - is an easy way to mobilize terro... err... voters, and it's very effective. I think the unreasoning rage is being deliberately stoked and lovingly tended, which is why we're seeing more of it.Abilene Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574761873617915182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-71778955176058206042010-03-21T22:34:50.881-07:002010-03-21T22:34:50.881-07:00Health Care for all !!! :)
Every once in a while, ...Health Care for all !!! :)<br />Every once in a while, I post a link to your blog on my facebook page... I have to share your funny stuff!! :)<br />I hope that is okay, if not just comment back and I'll delete it from my page. I just had to share your fashion tips the other day it cracked me up !! <br />Keep on blogging...<br />BelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-67742401245084915232010-03-21T22:20:56.964-07:002010-03-21T22:20:56.964-07:00Crazed Mom, the "man" who was making tho...Crazed Mom, the "man" who was making those comments was a high school classmate of W, who is a mutual friend of Jo's and mine. When W posted her original comments on health care, it got posted to our pages, too. This "man's" subsequent comments to W also showed up on our pages. He is in no way FB friends of ours. I'm not going to be surprised if W axed him after tonight, actually. <br /><br />I have FB friends who are quite conservative, and we've had some rather spirited talks but...it's never disintegrated into the nonsense Jo referenced here. This "man" would stand in a flaming building and insist that it wasn't burning down around his head, as long as Rush Limbaugh told him so.Penny Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154829540938334107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-19493721605121725642010-03-21T19:44:44.114-07:002010-03-21T19:44:44.114-07:00Yes! well said.
