That kind of thinking is what brought us Obamacare.

There was a woman in my town who came down with brain cancer. She had young children and the surgeons wouldn’t operate without being given $35,000 up front.

She tried fund raisers, there were money jars all over town, but in the end she could’t raise the funds...so she died, leaving young kids behind, orphans.

That kind of barbarity shouldn’t be in a nation as wealthy and compassionate as America.

Something about that story sounds like it's missing a few details. I'm familiar with similar stories, but every case I've come across involved a medical procedure that was an unconventional treatment and had a low probability of success.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but $35,000 doesn't sound like a lot of money for a life-saving medical procedure.

Do you believe she had the right to rob her neighbors at gunpoint?

Agree with you Sir. Conservatives get sick too! I don’t believe we should be left to die because of circumstances (sometimes) beyond our control.
