And while we listen to the Drivel about Death Panels heat the Airwaves the Battle has gone off course. We are supposed to be fighting for People that are being denied Healthcare or are having care rationed to them. And the "price" of the care is costing Lives.Healthcare Reform would improve the quality of life for millions making sure they have affordable access to NEEDED care. Does anyone remember the case of Natalie Sarkaysian , she died a little over 2 years ago waiting for her Insurance Company to APPROVE her liver transplant. And the company ruthlessly denied her care, it was a decision fueled by greed. She was 17 and she died waiting for Bean Counters to approve Medical Care that she needed to survive.Insurance Companies are dictating what doctors can provide for their patients.It is estimated that 30,000 a year are dying without Insurance, what we need to ask is how many are dying WITH Insurance ? How Many Natalies are out there ? And ask yourself are there Death Panels at Insurance Companies, read the links below and I think you will have the Answer.
Fight the Dying, Fight for the Living. Fight for what matters. This battle is about asking for Americans , ALL Americans to be able to get the Healthcare they need. IT is that simple.
If you don't remember about Natalie, here is more on her story, Read this story "Murder by Spreadsheet".

hey that is a really good question, the insurance companies are already death panels, they won't approve stuff for the elderly already, they won't let doctors treat children who need procedures, i know a child who had 300,000.00 bill for a bone marrow transplant, i know somebody who was told by an insurance plan that her unborn child who needed medical treatment should be aborted.
And how much did the bean counter that told that child she had to DIE for profit make as a bonus for that decision, and how much did the executive make in charge of that misnamed so called health insurance company make that year, I bet it was in the Billions
poultroons, gutter human beings with no soul
Great point about the HMOs and insurance companies rationing healthcare already.
how did obama let this slip away? and why arent the millions without insurance down at the town halls fighting back
About Obama , I blame the Dems and the Blue Dogs and to a degree the MSM...(sorry) And there should have been Hearings where people like me were asked to tell our story...
Why aren't the Uninsured going to these Meetings ? or even the Doctors and nurses ?
Because they are scared, shamed, embarrassed....hatemongers can be intimidating, because NO ONE has ever asked for their input. I went to Marica' Fudges meeting this week, I spoke out as an UNinsured nurse, and I told the audience there are 52 Million people, and if you look to your left and to your right Someone near you is uninsured....I asked them to please remember that and think about it before people were shamed.
( I sat in front of a Palinista and all she did was make rude coments about how THEY are lazy, and it's their own fault etc...there is hate and a I Got MINE so Fuck you attitude- it is palpable....it is real)
Her staff said I spoke so well...and gave me a card and took my info..and I don't think I will ever hear another word...
2 minutes of being eloquent and explaining that in 20 years of nursing I never turned anyone away...ever...I took an oath..I have lived up to it...
and now I am just one of 52 Million....without Healthcare...I want care for all of us, for those losing their jobs everyday, for my son .....the Insurance Companies are playing God...but they have plenty of enablers and many that are in DC....that is the sad truth...
What is going to happen ?
I only wish I knew...
