From The Huffington Post -- 11-23-09:
A group called the Chicago Tea Party Patriots publicly heckled a grieving family and suggested that the couple fabricated their tragic story.
At a town hall held by Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) on Nov. 14, Dan and Midge Hough spoke about how they believed the death of their daughter-in-law and her unborn child were caused, in part, by a lack of health insurance. Twenty-four-year old Jennifer was uninsured. According to her in-laws, she was not receiving regular prenatal care and was not properly treated when she got sick. She ended up in an emergency room with double pneumonia that developed into septic shock, had a heart attack, a brain bleed and a stroke. The baby died and Jennifer died a few weeks later.
Midge Hough was heckled and ridiculed by anti-reform crowd members. "You can laugh at me, that's okay," she said, crying. "But I lost two people, and I know you think that's funny, that's okay."
Of course, if you ask a Conservative, most of them will say: "I never heard of a single person dying in America for lack of health insurance". Maybe Conservatives should turn off FOX News and try exposing themselves to the real world.

Thanks for posting the article CJP. Yes I saw the video on this yesterday.
This article is of interest. http://prescriptions.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/17/harvard-medical-study-links-lack-of-insurance-to-45000-us-deaths-a-year/
45,000 deaths a year in the USA due to lack of health insurance.
The CONS ARE the death panels by not co-operating with the majority government to establish health insurance for every US citizen.
Health insurance for everyone is what the vast majority voted for in the last election and still want.
Why couldnt she get care? Isnt this a example of bad health care not bad health care insurance?
Just saw a show on TV about free health clinics traveling through the USA. The docs, nurses etc. all work for free. This time it was in Houston. The previous one I saw was in L.A.
(Now docs etc. in addition to going to Africa and third world countries, need to include America in their free health care. Shame on the CONS!!! )
It was said that 85% of the people who visited (1850 of them) are employed. These people are called the working poor and cannot afford health insurance so they don't get any health care.
Most of the cons seem to be heartless, cold people without any regard for their neighbors. The only passion they exhibit is egoism and self-interest that expresses/shows in the tea parties as hate for compassionate people. Additionally, hate for people who's luck may have run out.

Thank you CJP. But so are you by getting this blogger site up and publishing all the interesting articles. Please keep it going eh?
PS: I can't stand Canadian Cons either, nor from any other country. They all have the same things in common.

Such hatred. Libs love to hate. I don't hate libs. I just think their hippie style of politics don't work.
I know. This hatred is scarey. What if I was a poor con? Does one cancel out the other? Do they love me because I'm poor? or do they hate me because I am conservative?
