    I deleted your comment...
    maybe you were being "glib"
    or you thought you were funny...
    I have no idea...


    Keith's father is supposedly dying....
    The story he told...is real..
    I have seen it before where a relative asks to die...
    it happens to many ....
    all of us that have lost relatives know that it is painful to lose a loved one as they fight/battle a catastrophic illness...

    It is a time to have Compassion...
    and Wisdom....
    not just for Keith ...
    but for each other...

    You may not like Keith-
    but he has fought harder to help get the Truth out about OUR HCR battle , and Health Care Crisis than ANY other MSM or Journalist.....

    and he did this while taking care of his dad all these monthes...

    As a Nurse of many years, who has worked Hospice-that he did this while caring for a dying Father shows a level of Courage that is immeasurable....

    HCR Facts :

    >50 Million are without HC or any level of Care at this time or Insurance.

    30Million have been cancelled or denied care due to PreExisting Conditions.

    17,000 LOSE Insurance a day ....and lost HC...

    47,000 die each year with NO HC ....in OUR Country... that is shameful...
