And all seem well represented in the media, except for the poor woman in the bottom right hand corner.

That reminds me of my mother.

Years ago, she was in excruciating pain with a bad gallbladder. All the paperwork for the spend down had yet to go through, so the secretary at the doctor's office refused to schedule the surgery, saying and I quote, "She's waited this long. A few more days won't hurt her."



I have nothing but disdain for people that want to go back to the days before Obamacare and use excuses like website bugs to push for the repeal or delay of a law that is helping and will help so many. That was the first real experience I had with realizing just how poor we were and how evil the haves could be to the have nots. That experience contributed a lot to me being the Dem I am today.
