Let's pray that America can realize that the hate she shows is frightening not of a lady or a American. What scares me more that American's want to support her. I now realize with her that end times are very close.

Because of this my wife was able to select the doctor she wanted to remove the cancer, the doctor she wanted for reconstruction and the doctor for her followup care. After paying $2700 out of pocket expenses the remainder of the bill has been covered by insurance, close to $60,000. Now do you think Obama Care would allow her to select HER medical team like this, or would she be at the mercy to whomever they could find the most cost effective? She had 4 surgeries in July and will have probably 2 more before it is all over. All covered 100% by my PRIVATE insurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-82961722219959658432009-08-09T22:27:49.947-08:002009-08-09T22:27:49.947-08:00She is not a good adviser for health care plan......She is not a good adviser for health care plan...cheaphttp://www.whatlimouk.com/index.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-64247119281767497882009-08-09T12:32:42.358-08:002009-08-09T12:32:42.358-08:00In reply to Gryphen:

People like you have really no insight into the real cost you are already paying since out healthcare system is so broken. You are already paying for the uninsured in your high premiums, deductibles, pharmacuetical prices, and doctor/hospitals.<br /><br />Let me break it down to a third grade level. When uninsured or underinsured folks do get to a doctor or hospital and can't pay or their insurance denies their claims, all of us insured folk' premiums and cost of doctor visits rise to absorb the cost. WHy does a doctor charge outrageous amounts of money for a 30 minute visit? Think about it.<br /><br />Your insurance company determines what kind of care you receive, not you and your doctor. If you haven't realized that by now, you never will. It is a total racket, and we are being raped daily by the insurance companies and health care facilities.Virginia Voterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435798585615448933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-91003582656850282232009-08-09T10:03:16.843-08:002009-08-09T10:03:16.843-08:00notalib: So here's the deal.

On the other hand, I will continue to support President Obama and his attempts to try and HELP people in our great country.<br /><br />I did notice, your iconic BrainDeadGoddess very openly omitted a particular category of individuals in her recent speech.

Do you pay into social security? Because if you truly hate health care you probably should at this point, just totally opt out, go live in the woods, and take care of yourself.<br />Secondly, the word "Acorn" is a Republican talking point. It gives away "trolldom" and lack of intelligent thought, especially when it is tossed out with nothing attached to it.

How many times have we heard Palin whining, "Leave my kids alone!" They did. Now she is starving for attention, so she uses her Down Syndrome child to get attention once again in the media. She should be more concerned about getting him the early intervention therapies he needs as a DS baby. How many times have we heard Palin say that children with special needs have a friend in her and she will fight for them. Well, Alaskans know her as having a short attention span. The National Down Syndrome Congress does support health care reform, (DS is considered an existing condition.) Palin does not support health care reform! Looks like that friendship has fallen along the wayside.<br /><br />Why would "Obama's Health Plan" be a detriment to Palin's "DS child"? Unless Palin has forgotten - she is married to an Alaska Native, therefore her DS child has access to FREE medical care through a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT program. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is legally bound to provide free health care coverage to Alaska native peoples in exchange for lands and mineral rights received over about 200 years. Also, because Palin's child has DS, he has access to many free GOVERNMENT programs for therapies and education.<br /><br />As for her concern for her parents and the elderly. Well, Palin should have been concerned for the elderly people of Alaska while she was governor. She didn't have time to tend to their needs - her job as governor of Alaska got in the way of her photo ops and partying. Under Palin's reign, the "Palin Death Panel" came about. In a span of 2 years 254 elderly people died while waiting to see if they qualified for Medicaid and Medicare Assistance; these people died because of neglect by state agencies headed by Palin. See the Alaska Daily News article of July 14, 2009 "Troubled Alaska Health Programs Face Federal Restriction - http://www.adn.com/front/story/864670.html?storylink=pd.<br /><br />Further, Obama's "death panel" is in the delusional minds of Palin and her Republican cronies. "Such a system is downright evil" Palin says. Looks like Palin is trying to project herself onto Obama. "Evil is as evil does." Since Palin thinks she is God's "chosen one," I am sure she is familiar with Matthew 7:15 (King James) "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." Palin and the Republicans are the wolves preaching hate, lies and using terroristic tactics to frighten the poor and elderly.<br /><br />And, lastly, to have both Palin and Stapleton on the same Facebook account commenting on things they know nothing about - now, that's scary!AlaskaGal09noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-86576430358018229732009-08-09T07:25:30.125-08:002009-08-09T07:25:30.125-08:00I have to agree with penelope that that last pic.....I have to agree with penelope that that last pic...buttercup and Trig...she must of not known a camera was on her, she looks again, like she's dragging a rag doll around and her face...HER FACE,her expression is the shittiest expressions I have ever seen.

I just saw an ad on CNN pushing the lie that hc reform will allow the government to kill the elderly. These folks don't care that they're lying to millions of Americans for profit. AARP is trying to counter these lies by using a FAQs approach by stating the misconceptions and telling seniors the facts. I hope that seniors take advantage of this information, but my fear is that a lot of them will dismiss them and focus on what the mouthpieces on the right tell them. Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter, Bachmann, and all the rest of them have not read the "bill" because no final bill exists at this time, only bills from Congressional committees. The level of venom and lies being pushed by those on the right is evil because they know that the bottom-line of what they're doing is to turn public opinion against anything the president and the majority of Americans want, and to pretend otherwise is truly shameful.majiinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-78621526986797143572009-08-09T05:48:49.659-08:002009-08-09T05:48:49.659-08:00I already had this discussion with my MD.

We did not force her and the decisions were not made that day.<br />But when the worst happened, my sister and I knew what she wanted. She did not die in the origional hospital, but having her paper work transferred with her, made her dying less painful for her(she was kept very comfortable according to her wishes) and helpedd us accept her death.<br />The fact that Palin and the rest of these lying, unethical republicans are using this clause in the health care debate is dispicable.<br />Why do the haves(republicans) do not want to take care of others?

It's not right to saddle a child with that kind of responsibility.<br />I am a mother of five. My youngest is especially close to my middle child as she was a preteen when he was born. I was working two jobs out of necessity. My daughter wanted to take care of my baby all the time. While I appreciated her help, you cannot saddle a child with a child. It's wrong.

We all have issues, thoughts, hopes, dreams and last wishes. <br /><br />The medical community often postulates that 50% of ALL medical dollars are spent in the last 30 days of life - most often because people have not sat down with family, friends, attorney to express what they want under which conditions.<br /><br />Many decisions are based upon the specific conditions. For example, if due to some unfortunate type of poisoning, your kidneys are knocked out, you can survive with the TRANSIENT assistance of kidney/renal dialysis.
