2. it is now in the NYT, that is new. Until now only K.O. was pushing this

and the death was not related to the budget cut (unless I misunderstood Keith's reporting).

I've lived here since I was 12 and I'm 45 now.

7. Jan Brewer - Allowing Chronically Ill Arizonians to Die, One At A Time...

While throwing that much-needed funding to try to deport people, build some stupid wall, and prop up "Sheriff Joe" for a few more years.

She makes me want to :puke:. She really does.

So, sctually being sick enough for a transplant isn't enough anymore. I really feel for the Felixes, and all of the other families that are going through this. I hope someone steps up and makes this right. Until that happens, those of us who live here in AZ need to make some serious noise, and ring the phone off the hook at her office.
