That he has an epiphany from this experience and realize that a person with no insurance can be healthy and happy one minute and struck down with a grave injury seconds later. That is what I wish, but given his lifetime views and policies, I don't hold out much hope. I do wish him a good recovery though.

He was saved by God to do God's work, and God's work must continue.

Just watch

1 weak gun laws, lay that at the feet of repukes
2 destructive economic policies, "
3 a stolen presidential election, "
4 a poisoned national mood, "
5 hate radio, "
6 misogyny directed at Hillary, "
7 rascism, "
8 sexism, "
9 homophobia, "

I could go on and on but who couldn't see this coming? 150 years of hate and rascism by the Republicans and they now flood our country with guns? Yeah, there's mentally ill people out there that need help and instead of help the repukes give them guns!!
The true irony is this sexist, rascist, homophobic politician had his ass saved by two of ours.
Two Public Servants of color and one being a gay woman at that.
Who here thinks that if the shoe was on the other foot if any of those cowardly repuke lawmakers would have taken a bullet, or ran into gunfire to save the life of a gay black woman?
Hell no!
These people, the GOP, deserve zero sympathy. They had this coming.

Humans can grow and change at any point in their lives. I wish Scalise only the best and hope he makes a full recovery.

and if the medical expenses result in his bankruptcy and the loss of his home, he will understand better how millions of American live, and perhaps gain a new found sense of empathy hitherto lacking

Of course they can afford their own private insurance but they have the ACA via their employer. Am I incorrect?

if he gets well he gets well if he doesn't he doesn't and I could care less what happens to him. If he gets well then that just means we are going to have to go back to fighting him for the crap he does.
