Excellent quote from that man of the people, Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, in the New York Times this morning. He said:
"Terri Schiavo – like all Americans – deserves our protection and
respect. I will continue to call on the Florida Legislature to pass
legislation to honor patients’ decisions about end of life care,
protect all vulnerable Floridians, and spare Terri’s life."
I think that taking care of all Americans is a totally boss idea and I am glad that all these Republicans are suddenly expressing a desire to make it happen. How about we start first with the 43.6 million Americans who don’t even have health insurance? I realize that if we make this some sort of government handout, there’s a chance that vulnerable Americans like Terri might fall victim to the evils of "welfare dependency," so I’d be OK with requiring that people like Terri be required to get a job first. I think it’s the least we could do for our most vulnerable Americans.

As a Republican, I think that we ought to make not having life insurance illegal and lock-up those 43.6 million americans that don’t have it. ;-)
SWEET! I like the way you think!
That is a great quote and I hope someone will stick to it and help improve the health care situation.
