VIDEOS: Our flawed health care system failed a young mother and her unborn child

By GottaLaff

Jennifer and daughter Kylee

Yesterday I posted about a group of despicable Tea Partiers attacking a family at a town hall meeting. Yes, Dan and Midge Hough were mourning the loss of their young daughter-in-law and unborn grandchild, and these insensitive beasts were rolling their eyes, jeering and groaning as Midge tried to express herself.

As it turns out, Midge and I are Twitter pals, and she was kind enough to link me to this piece that she wrote.

Please go read it, I can't do it justice. Then watch this video again:



Here's an excerpt from Midge's post:

In the richest county in the world our daughter in-law died, she died at the age of 24. We will never see her bright eyes again, her infectious smile, hear about her love for the color green, or watch her grow in her life. She didn’t have insurance, is that a crime in America??? Have we lost compassion for those who are less fortunate, and do we now condemn them to die if they can not buy private insurance? We hear about the enormous amounts of money it will cost for a public option but each day Jen was in ICU the cost was over $22,000. You do the math. She may have been alive today had we had a system that looks at everyone equally.

Now here is Midge telling the story in her own words, starting at about 1:39...

"Big Insurance: Sick of It" Rally from Justin Jach on Vimeo.

If every Republican Party of No member/Blue Dog Democrat read this post, do you think it would make a difference?

Sadly, I don't. But it should.

Conclusion: Donations from Big Insurance take priority over human survival... even that of the unborn. So much for the so-called "pro-life" party.
