And maybe it was an inoperatable condition on this baby. Babies do die
because of this. Is what JFK and Jackies baby that died shortly after
birth died of. And they had all the health care money could buy.
Yet these people's child was denied even the chance. This is the kind of
policy you support?
The hospital did operate. The baby died anyway. As for insurance, the
parents didn't carry any on themselves, but they did carry insurance on
their other children. A dirty little secret, even for those with
insurance, a major illness is the number one cause of bankruptcy in this
country. Hopefully, with this new legislation, that will change.
How do you carry insurance on children without having insurance on the
parents?
A co-worker is losing his house and will most likely go bankrupt. Why,
in his words, because he isn't getting a raise this year. It couldn't be
due to the fact that he bought too big of a house with an interest only
mortgage. This is a guy who is supposedly highly educated.

Your anecdote has nothing to do with the sick baby, brain sturgeon.
It is health care bills, not the lack of a raise, that is the cause of a
huge number of bankruptcies.

unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it.
