1. Remember the young lady who died because Cigna wouldn't approve her liver transplant?
Her family is participating in John's Town Hall meeting today! Tune in! It should be GREAT!

10. Her brother
Michael Moore is mentioning my sister. Mr. Edwards is mentioning my sister. I feel like I'm in a movie.

"I promised her I would live her life, and I would fight" before she died. "This is not right, this has to change. "

11. Now her brother is speaking.
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 12:49 PM by in_cog_ni_to
The reason they are there is because "30 minutes before she died I promised her I was living the rest of my life for HER." :cry:

16. Her dad, "I am not speaking for my daughter now, I am speaking for the American people. We need a
change." Cigna denied their claims TWICE. The fuckers denied the young lady her life TWICE!

25. I'm in California and it looks like I might not
get that chance. According to the polls NH, NV & SC LOVE Obama & Hillary. Edwards doesn't even seem to be on the radar.

34. All the candidates say that
right up until they drop out long before the convention. I truly hope I'm wrong on this 'cause there's no way I'm going to choose between Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum.

41. Not exactly
He said he was not status quo. But he inferred, along with Elizabeth, they would still negotiate with the corporate types and thus, how could UHC get passed?

...TELLING ME what I just saw and heard.

FauxSnooze says "We report. You decide."

Bullshit.

*I* decide - period. THEY can just STFU - the whole lot of 'em.
