Cindy Howell drove five hours from her Dallas home to see a doctor at the Little Rock health fair today. She has $30,000 of credit card debt from her last five years of Texas Risk Pool premiums, but she can’t get mammograms or preventive care under her plan. She pays $126 for one asthma medication but she skips doses to make it last longer.
What does Cindy have to say to the politicians in Washington voting on health care debate tonight? "Have a heart!"
Are you listening, John Cornyn? Are you listening, Kay Bailey Hutchison? This is your constituent who drove five hours to another state capital so that she could get the health care she can’t afford under your state’s risk pool plan.
"Have a heart!"

My heart goes out to this lady, but if you’re expecting (yes I know: you’re being rhetorical) toads like Cornyn or Hutichison to give two rat’s poops, you really have lost your mind. They got theirs, eff this lady. Whatever happens to her: who cares, and she probably deserves it. Remember the Republic’s Health Care Plan: 1. Don’t get sick; 2. If you get sick, die quickly.
Truly, you are doing yeoman’s work on this, Teddy. So manyb posts…
I hope someone gives you a medal.

Correction: “very” quickly!
Also, I responded to your comment on my post that has since fallen off the feed. Thanks!
Wow, Teddy!
My clock says 1:19 EST so I just don’t know where we are in the threads. All I can say is that I’m fucking furious that Medical Mutual would not fill, the first nor the second prescription for my sinus infection. Antibiotics, YES, just ten dollars with my plan. But the Allegra D, or Claritan, no go there. Tant pis.
