I doubt seriously they could afford that.

As for blaming
*... nothing, this last year could probably have changed my friends
situation, not enough time

what really could have been well discussed, compromised, health care
reform to fail ( admittedly, partly because a few imbecile Democrats
had to be "accommodated") *because not even a few reasonable Repugs
were to be found in the hall )

Larry, with all due respect, blaming it on the Republicans is not fair.
*The Democrats have major majorities in both Houses and occupy the WH. *
They could have passed *anything* that looked good. *What they came up
with was a pitiful mess that the majority of Americans do not want. *
They had to bribe pols to get the bills through, and even now, the
Senate version will NOT pass in the house because of its contents. *The
Republicans did not pen these bills; Democrats did and both Pelosi and
Reid know the bill is dead and going nowhere. *As far as Republican
actions on these bills...... I remember seeing Obama on the news
meeting *exclusively* with the Dems of both Houses. *The Republicans
were not invited.

Even if the Republicans voted 100% for the bills in the House and the
Senate, it would take *years* to impliment. *Your friend is not dying
because of anything Congress or the Senate did or did not do. *Perhaps
he should have planned better, ensured that he and his would always be
covered by some kind of insurance. *I did, and I am called an imbecile,
idiot, moron, uneducated, etc by the insane and nasty denizens in this
rat hole. *I don't mean to sound cruel, but there is no free lunch; if
you don't watch out for yourself, no one else will. *Plan, save, and do
it yourself. *Don't rely on the politicians, because they sure as hell
don't love you and yours, or me and mine. *Do you honestly think Nancy
and Harry care about your friend? *They don't. *They are the ruling
class; you, your friend, me - we aren't part of their world. *If every
pol voted what his/her constituents wanted, their would be no health
care bill as it now exists, but there *could* have been a bill that
everyone agreed upon if only the process was different. *I have but a
few years to live and I know I will not see universal health care in my
life time. *My children doubt they will see it, or even see Social
Security because we are so very deep in debt. *They know that DC
doesn't care **** about them, Republicans or Democrats.

I pray your friend has an easy time of it in the short time he has left.
