Of course it happens. And it is tragic. But you are made aware of the risks, and 2% is just not that high. But when it happens to you or a loved one it is 100%.

Hey Murtha, how’s that government healthcare?

I will be kind today.

Semper Fi, John.

His manner of death is not without astonishing irony, which the State Run Media will like CNN will totally cover up.

Laproscopic surgery to remove a gall bladder is almost as routine as it gets these days. To nick a guys colon and give him peretonitis means that a garage mechanic operated on the guy.

If you want to see the future under government health care, take a close look at this incident.

Jewish tradition demands that we only say good about the dead, so...

He’s dead. Good.

I’d say Ginsburg, but she’s just on SCOTUS, not legislative.

When my family went to see that in the local theater, just about *everyone* was rooting for hillbillies.

No apologies.

Yup. Happened to me. “Routine” gallbladder removal turned into 3 weeks hospitalization (including 2 weeks of deliberate starvation). Two incisions wouldn’t stop bleeding. So much for “2% risk”.

Sorry about that. Unfortunately when you are part of the 2% that's 100% for you.
