or child to support this law (and in extension support of Obama) that leaves millions without access to care, leaves millions in bankruptcy and leaves millions of people with a plan (Medicaid) that many doctors will not accept.

There really is no excuse and I'm so sorry that your wife is not here because of the sytem we have and the system many of our politicians continue to support, and too many of them are in our party

And they call that health care?

I remember 18 months ago getting into bed with my husband for the first time after weeks of him in the hospital and all I felt was bones, just bones, he had just had a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, and it is so very much etched into my mind.

A picture cannot possibly capture the agony and worry we feel, yet these pictures of some anonymous person are still posted without care. I surely hope they stop posting these unknown pictures to further some political agenda ... guess you have to have been there to understand that Everyone needs a chance.

We need a system where everyone has a chance to be treated, the sickest go first, that is how it should be. This may all be contrary to my own needs, the lifetime maximum cap is certainly looming after the transplant and my daughter is currently doing her residency. At her graduation from Med school most speakers talked of the need for a HC system for all, there was no talk of profit or personal gain, it was about care. It is the right thing for everyone, it is the right thing for our country. Bailing out a diminishing for profit HC sytem is not.

Big hugs to you, I SO wish it had been different.
