Wow, just wow. Seriously what the hell is wrong with these people? Everyone has the right to healthcare when they are sick. I'll tell you a little story. A year ago one of my best friends since Middle School suddenly suffered Kidney failure and passed away, the reason being because he had a horrible wisdom tooth that he did not have insurance to be dealt with. He of course could not afford the almost 2,000 fee to have the tooth extracted, so he did what anyone else would do. He kept taking Tylenol's like they were candy for pain. SO much so, that it destroyed his kidneys.

My friend died because he didn't have 'privalage' to health care. SO this guy and other republicans like him can kiss my effin ass.

The right to life, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, must logically include care for the condition of being sick, as that threatens your life.

I get my health care through the VA, so I consider myself lucky. There are members of my family who have little or no health care because the cost is too high. Luckily, they have been healthy, but all it takes is a broken leg or a heart problem to lead to a bill that costs thousands of dollars.

In the Bizarro world of the Republican Party, this also is what they say:

I am pro-life and I support the death penalty.
