People want to believe it so but near where I live is a massive childrens Hosp, reasearch including cutting edge cardiac. As a former pediatric patient, we throw all we can for the smallest of our society because life is worth it. For this,I happily pay my taxes so that my family and those I've never met, do not have to worry about cost of care when it's needed most. My own care has been always expedient and top notch. We have issues but it's not the horror story some would like to believe. My country thinks I'm worth keeping alive, healthy and productive. It has saved my mother my grandparents, relatives and friends year after year. I wish better for you, your fam. <br /><br />Have a fab 2011.

It's a three part opinion.<br /><br />1)Life is precious.<br />2)Life > Money.<br />3)Money is NOT precious. Money is evil (albeit useful).<br /><br />I could not even imagine essentially saying that someone has to die so that I can receive some government service or pay lower taxes. Life is too special, too sacred, to even think about being so selfish as to take an opportunity for God and medicine to work hand in hand in creating miracles. And yes, I realize what it costs to make that happen... and I think it's worth the chance, no matter how small.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436643238936392100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-74697168150700345462010-12-16T20:44:28.880-07:002010-12-16T20:44:28.880-07:00So because of the illegals and our states lazy att...So because of the illegals and our states lazy attempts at correcting the problems with that, the citizens should die without their life saving transplants just because they are on state insurance? I think you and I might agree more than you think on coverage, because I do NOT think illegals should be getting state services and the hard working doctors be unpaid due to it. BUT I DO think that the people who have state medical coverage and are citizens of the country should get the coverage they need in terms of transplant. And I'm telling you right now I know for a fact that most if not all of the 98 people denied transplant due to this change are citizens, because one of the people is alumn of a local high school with friends of mine.<br /><br />Of course, your anonymous status speaks volumes. And you obviously did not read into my sadness for these people not given the chance at life that my daughter was given. The ability to save them is there, within reach, but the quality of their life is being dictated by suits and not doctors. Something is terribly wrong when a doctor cannot save a person because a non-medical professional needs to save money. Their lost lives will never make up that savings shes attempting to make.<br /><br />Whoever you are, I'm guessing you have not followed me for very long. You probably found me on a Twitter search. I have no tolerance for bullies, so either read my blog because you are interested in all things related to congenital heart defects, transplant, God, a typical American family, my personal opinions, philanthropy or positive thinking.... or pack up your web browser and move on.<br /><br />God bless, and Merry Christmas.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517277826446033053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-63937235498649971382010-12-16T17:25:48.575-07:002010-12-16T17:25:48.575-07:00I guess you want your state to be taken over by al...I guess you want your state to be taken over by all the illegals in it. Don't forget...they get FREE healthcare while honest, hard working Americans struggle with this coverage. I know because my husband is a physician and has countless times never been paid because some of those he has treated were undocumented workers who were never to be seen again but ones that couldn't be turned away because they went to the ER. Maybe you need to get your facts straight because I don't think you know half of what it is like being on the other end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
