They must think that's a winning issue. I'm not so sure.

I think she was effective for what they wanted to accomplish. And I believe the statement was that no one should go broke due to illness.

Re: The 2012 Democratic National Convention

Deacon, am I wrong? I didn't like the way the democrats took, (in my opinion), advantage of a young lady who lost both of her legs serving her country. Is that the right thing to do, to make that a political item? Just wonderin'.

Or accident.

Nonsense.

If you can't pay for someone else's services you should go broke.

You don't have a right to someone else's time and efforts.

Well, I guess I'm coming from the vantage point of someone who has been charged some clearly exorbitant prices for one overnight hospital stay. I can relate to that specific point...and no, I don't believe I should have to go broke for that. There HAS to be a better alternative.

...and going broke is not the only issue. Some people end up going dead.

Now that is a losing proposition on his part.

Reckon that could have been on purpose by Obama and his crew? Less people to hear Bill, (in case he said the wrong things), but still making him look important!

So who should pay for the services you received?

I can pay for the services that I received (even though it was exorbitant and has been a struggle), but it was eye opening for me. If they charge me $20,000 for one night, what about the other people who are dealing with issues more serious and chronic than mine. I am willing to entertain the notion that serious reform of some kind is needed.
