Obama, Jobs to be # 1 Priority

I think she did serious harm to the health care discussion with her death squad comments. A real shame that issue was dropped like a hot potato shortly after it was bad mouthed.

Now, as the contemplation and discussion seems to be settling down to issues "we" can all agree on I'd sure like to see this one back on the table. Yeah, I have a personal stake in it. I saw the way my Dad was treated by the "system" when his death was imminent. The doctors all but refused to leave him alone, he just wanted to die in peace and they managed to screw up his last few weeks with one "test" and "extra ordinary" measure after another. Now, Dad's take on it was that they were using HIM to make money for themselves by billing insurance. Whether that is true or not is beside the point. HE felt that way and it pissed him off, I felt like he went to his end angry at the doctors for not listenting and THAT pissed ME off.

My Mother simply stayed home when her time came, refused to let anybody take her anywhere. She knew what happened to Dad. She just quit taking her medication and passed on rather peacfully, at home.
