Jan Brewer's Healthcare Cuts Claim Another victim
Edited on Thu Jan-06-11 01:44 PM by Pamela Troy
Washington Post 1/5/11:

A second person denied transplant coverage by Arizona under a state budget cut has died, with this death "most likely" resulting from the coverage reduction, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday.


First it was Mark Price. Ever heard the name? Price was a leukemia patient who died late in November from complications while preparing for a privately-funded bone-marrow transplant. It was provided after Jan Brewer cut off funding for such life-saving transplants. See, Price could have had his transplant early in October, when two potential donors became available, but that was the very day Brewer’s cuts went into effect. Time is critical for leukemia patients, and apparently Price just could not physically afford the delay caused by Brewer’s cuts.

He was 37 years old.



The name of the second victim has not yet been released.

Hope the infinitesimal amount of money “saved” by these deaths is worth it to Brewer and her supporters – especially since Mr. Price left behind a wife who now has to raise six children without a father.

Are we used to it yet?

3. How could they vote for her?
That's easy! Because they think exactly like her, to her supporters anyone with a Hispanic last name is an illegal alien. Those that will die because of her wonderful death law, are considered by her supporters to not even be human.

Face the facts, that is what consitutes the majority of voters in Arizona, racists and people filled with hate.

The bad part is that the hatred is spreading, and will be showing up in other states controlled by Republicans.

Get prepared for it, because it's coming.

4. $1.3 million is what the state Senator said it would cost on Keith's program last night.
It is appalling.
