    Default Health Care in America

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/01/hos....ap/index.html

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Video from a surveillance camera at a Brooklyn, New York, hospital shows a woman dying on the floor of a psychiatric emergency room while people nearby ignore her.


    Surveillance video shows a woman lying on the hospital floor for almost an hour before anyone helped her.

    The video was released Monday by lawyers suing Kings County Hospital.

    The lawsuit alleges neglect and abuse of mental health patients at the facility.

    The video shows the 49-year-old woman keeling over and falling out out of her chair on June 19. Watch the surveillance video »

    She lies facedown on the floor, then thrashes before going still.

    Thats sad.. municipal hospital for yah. Same employees would be there prob at lower pay grade and more protection from getting fired under universal hc.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    Well, that's true. If you don't pay taxes you really don't deserve any care. Hence my war on children.

    He's right, but our health care system is not one of the reason.
    Study Canada and Europe to figure it out.

    This belief is part of his noahide mission. If america is the greatest god created country, it's might MUST be utilized to serve god's chosen people.

    I don't have enough knowledge of every single nation the world has ever known to make such a pompous, overblown statement. Neither does Hannity, and neither do you.

    It's fine to be proud of your country; I am. To keep putting statements like this out there like white noise & attack the patriotism of those who think America still has faults is ridiculous.

    Well, not that you would let this bother you, but evidence exists that it’s not true.
