Face of Health Care Debate Hospitalized
The Medina Township resident, who was brought into the health care limelight when her letter was read during a White House press briefing last week, is in Medina Hospital undergoing a series of tests to see what caused her to become faint at work on Sunday.
In a December letter to the president, Canfield, 50, who is a cancer survivor and self-employed, detailed her fears about living without health coverage.
“I didn’t realize it would be sooner rather than later,” Canfield said Thursday from her hospital room.
She said she believes in health care reform just as much she did a week ago, or in December when she wrote the letter.
“This is bigger than me,” she said.
President Barack Obama is expected to speak about health care in Strongsville on Monday, and Canfield said his staff has asked her to introduce him. She said her sister will do it if she’s too sick to go.
There’s a Cleveland Clinic there in Strongsville....is that where he is taking his dog and pony show????

I don’t want any Government Health care or Interference.
Ask Terry Schiavo if you could. I know they claimed she was “brain Dead”. When it comes to my body I don’t trust the Government and you can take that to the bank!.
