If she died because of her struggle with an insurance company delaying treatment, just think how many of us will die under Obama Socialist Care will have to wait even longer or just take the pill.

If you have to take an IQ test to get treatment, then 'you' will have to wait extra extra long after that stupid fckin answer..........

The continued use of the dead and dying by Obama/Axelord media machine.

The public option is DEAD.

I noticed that it was based on a comment she said and no follow up was done to see if it was even true, was also not reported that way from any respectable news sources. Who knows if it is even true.

Why is it that some of you people are so mean spirited ? The current health system is broken so badly that the only people it benefits are the CEOS of the insurance companies. I do not want to see my fellow Americans w/o health insurance if they need it. If people are not insured, get sick and show up at the emergency room, we all pay. Don't you see this ? I am willing to help my fellow Americans. After all, we have spent billions in Iraq/Afghanistan to HELP those people and we absolutely have no business being there. Help Americans first and we will all be better off.
