Ex-Congressman Traficant In Critical Condition

The former congressman, 73, is “sedated and he’s not doing well,” his wife told The Vindicator a few minutes before heading back to the St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown, where he was taken after first being rushed to Salem Regional Hospital.

Traficant was driving a 1943 Ford tractor about 7:50 p.m. Tuesday at his family farm on West South Range Road about 140 feet into a large pole barn when the vehicle struck a large steel blade on the ground, said Goshen Police Chief Steve T. McDaniel.

That caused the tractor to flip with Traficant still in the vehicle’s seat, but trapped with the tractor on top of him, McDaniel said…

It is believed that Traficant suffered a heart attack on the tractor, said Linda Kovachik, a longtime family friend and former aide when Traficant was in Congress.

Another Obama care success story...

My daughter works for just above minimum wage and couldn't afford insurance before the ACA. Now she has insurance and boy are we glad. She was having big time stomach problems. It started by not being able to keep much food down and progressed into not even being able to keep water down. At the third trip to the ER they decided to admit her because of high pancreas enzymes ( they stayed elevated thru the whole affair). Finally after all this they decide to take her gall bladder and found she has an ulcer too.
She is home now and on her way to recovery, but if it weren't for ObamaCare I would be sitting in a lawyers office filing for bankruptcy right about now!
