    In the last 24 hours, people have called me "trash" and "scum." But I still think Jimmy Kimmel was wrong.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/05/03/what-jimmy-kimmel-s-monologue-about-his-son-didn-t-mention …

        That premium for metastatic cancer is essentially a death sentence. How do you reconcile that with a "pro-life" philosophy?

        Are then shifted to the rest of the system and all of us who use it. ER health care has been a major driver of sky-rocketiing costs.

        They call you names, perhaps, because when they respond with facts, numbers, and details that contradict your argument, you ignore them.

        No, because Kimmel is rich and can afford the bills to take care of his son. I remember that much from his explanation on CNN last night.

        Even medical experts say "this is a bad bill" example: like Ann Romney, I have MS. She can afford all the treatments-I cannot.

        That's not her fault nor anyone else's but congress should not make it harder for the rest of us to pay for healthcare-period.
