Healthcare

Best Healthcare System Ever.

Digby describes a report on CNN about an illegal immigrant who needs kidney dialysis, but private clinics are refusing to treat him.

The reporter asked him why he should get treatment since he isn't a citizen, (at which point I'm screaming "because he is a human being!") and he showed her his pay stubs going back to when he was 15 --- which showed that he's been paying taxes just like the higher orders.

Then the reporter calmly said, "he has about eleven days and then he'll die." Wolf Blitzer asked the reporter to keep us posted on what happens, so that's good.

What's worse is this happens every day -- to natural born Americans who have health insurance. Their policies are rescinded or their treatments are denied.

But the Republicans want healthcare reform to fail no matter what. Because, once again, they hate President Obama more than they love America. Which is insane.
