Cheney is in the same Inova cardic unit where my friend was...


Except my friend could not get a transplant

He was sent home with his heart pump

He wrestled with his insurance almost day

I think one day, he finally had enough and just did not plug his pump in

His mother, who acted as his caregiver found him the next morning

He was 51

I'd known him for over 20yrs.

RIP Don...I still miss you

regardless of how often we are told that the transplant protocols are blind, we have seen situations where that does not appear to be the case (I think of mickey mantle and erma bombeck).

darth cheney did not have to fight the insurance giants, and he has been on the public teat nearly his whole life. it is no wonder we are all upset and angry, and, even justifiably bitter.
