duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no insurance, no expensive meds
Not true, she had plenty of opportunity to get medical care in the state of Washington even without medical insurance. She made the CHOICE not to take advantage of them.
Rick
Actually, that may not be true.
I was in a situation like the 11 year olds mother--I have hypertension and currently unemployed. Also, I was unable to obtain medication for my blood pressure and I was denied both Medicare and Medicad when I applied for them early last year.
Know what happened?
My kidneys failed. That is when I was able to obtain Medicare because Dialysis patient are required by law to recieve it. Funny thing is, if they just allowed me to obtain some assistants when I first applied for help, I would be able to pay back the medical costs to the government by the end of this year.
On the other hand, I doubt the mother would have survived even if Obamacare was in place. She still would need to be accepted into a Health program and there is a possibility that she would have been denied still.
Five years ago my wife passed away. She died from the same thing this woman did. I have great insurance. Made zero difference. Give me a break.
Why does everybody keep saying she was GOING TO DIE anyway?
She had high blood pressure....that is perfectly managable with medications?
So are all of you and rush LYING about this?
And Conservatives have a way of telling an 11 year old who lost his mother....Tough luck kid, she would have died anyway
Would she have?
Rush's comments aside, you don't think this kid was being exploited for political gain?
Stephanie is correct. The Democrats trot out these "victims" in front of the cameras for their little sympathy ploys like this all the time because they know that the opposition will be hesitant to criticize their actions for fear of being framed as some kind of heartless monster. This reminds me of the Jersey Girls. It's theater politics and apparently you are vulnerable to it. Pat yourself on the back.
These "victims" are real Americans who have real stories to tell about our existing healthcare system. Yes they do deserve sympathy and they do deserve to be told "We will not let this continue to happen"

Please notice, I said "state of Washington." They have options in Washington state for the uninsured or unemployed other than Medicare and Medicaid.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and I hope that things are improved for you, but it is not the same as hers because of the state she lived in.

Rick
Maybe so, or maybe not.
The bottomline that is to be taken from my situation is that the government,be it state or federal, can deny assistance to an individual.
If this happens to be the case for Washington residents, then the argument pushed by the Democrats is still pointless. The mother is not able to obtain private insurance because she lacks the funds, and she may not be able to obtain public insurance because of government bureaucracy. The Democrats have not presented a solution to her problem. Instead, they are using a sob story to pass a bill that only rearranges how Health care is administered.
To help clarify what I am trying to say here, understand that the Democrats wishes for insurance to cover every paying individual, but they have not address the problem of those who are currently unable to pay. As long as this problem exist, the democrats are just playing around with the left.
Rush is a cold heartless bastard.
progressives-democrats have a habit of using women, children and the disabled as human shields (props).
seiu wouldn't pay for this woman's care when she was alive, but paid to fly her son to washington now that she's dead.
Rush is a cold heartless bastard.
What Rush stated was true, cold hearted or not. I'd expect most bleeding heart liberals to feel the way you do, so I'm not surprised by your personal attack.
Five years ago my wife passed away. She died from the same thing this woman did. I have great insurance. Made zero difference. Give me a break.
You do NOT KNOW one way or the other MM, if this woman would have lived, if she had the proper medical care....
but people here are taking Rush Limbaugh's word for it? that the kids mother would have died anyway....why is that?

She would not have been any better off if Obamacare had passed. Because Obamacare won't kick in any benefits for four years. So pretending that she could have been saved, as the Obamabots are, is false.
That was Rush's point.

they are NOT saying his mother would have been saved due to obama care, they are saying that if his mother had medical care she COULD HAVE BEEN saved from her death at 27.....
so, epic fail of Rush's part....lots of twisting and turning for him to make his statement...imo.
Pretty despicable of the libs to trot out that little kid like that.
I am not surprised in the least bit.
People will die! (Unless you vote Dem)

How do you know what he said is TRUE?????????????????
'Cause his lips were moving.
How do you know that the woman would have died anyway, with medical care and medications?
Two things in life are certain, death is one of them.
Is Rush a Doctor? Why take his word for it? Do you have that much Faith and Trust in HIM, to BELIEVE every word he says?
Do you have to be a doctor to speak the truth? I don't always agree with Rush, I rarely listen to him, but in this case on this point I believe he is right.
Democrats are great at protecting the people from individual rights is what Democrats are great at.
They supported slavery, ignoring the individual rights of slaves.
They support unions, trampling on the individual rights of small business owners.
They support huge government, at the expense of individuals who must bear the burden.
They support the welfare class, trampling the rights of those who work and want to get ahead.
Please notice, I said "state of Washington." They have options in Washington state for the uninsured or unemployed other than Medicare and Medicaid.

They did address it Arm....
They added assistance for those who can not afford it, "affordability credits" to families making as much as $80k, no?
