Reply #80: GOP grandstanding

[stevebreeze]

What is amazing to me is the rapidity with which congress has acted, supposedly on the behalf of one person at the edge of death. Tens if thousands died last year are dieing this year and will die next year, due to lack of health care. Congress has done nothing with which to address the problems of the uninsured. They do not die in front of national TV cameras. They die slow anonymous deaths. They die from lack of high blood pressure medication, drugs and treatment for diabetes, form having to place their health care low on the list of priorities just because they can't afford it. We need single payer national health care and we need it now.
