2. If the Circumstances Were *Exactly* The Same
taking me off life support would be the right thing to do. And don't wait 15 yrs to do it, either!

26. My husband is the best person I have ever known.
And he is thoroughly disgusted by the hypocrisy and "screw you Jack, I've got mine" attitude of the right. Not to mention the sheer DUMB FOLKS who push their agenda. We are pretty close to losing our health insurance, not sure we'll be able to write the check for next quarter's premium
so we're a little unsettled and maybe not as charitable as we normally would be. Enablers of this administration's agenda PISS ME OFF! :hi:

24. Yeah. Let's keep a corpse animated. That's a "good" use of health care.

5. Yeah, because private insurance is so helpful
They never deny claims or refuse coverage to anybody. :sarcasm:

So far, it's been one of the best groups I have ever worked for.

12. The brother that never visited Teri while she was in her coma?
He didn't care about her while she was alive, there must be money to be made now that she's dead.

13. OM friggin' G!
These people have no shame and no respect for the dead. The guy's probably pulling down a pretty good salary doing this from some Medical Insurance front group that's a non-profit and doesn't have to disclose their financials. Maybe Humana, United Health Care, et al as a group.

So this lowlife scum is making money by lying about his dead sister who wanted to not be on life-support. Just how low is the bar? I can't see it from here.

18. This could be helpful, actually. Most people put him somewhere near Fred Phelps
in terms of credibility.

27. Apparently not, according to some of those same authors!
They're suing their vanity publisher for remaindering all their books. LOL!

29. Of course, only Kucinich is offering a real national health plan
besides, obviously, that's a big, steaming pile of poo. If anything, it's HMOs who are chomping at the bit for "assisted suicide" laws such as Oregon's; that state's largest HMO is said to have had a hand in writing that law.
