Remember Julie Boonstra? She’s the single mother fighting leukemia who appeared in an anti-Obamacare television ad running in Michigan: (see video at link)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid assailed Ms. Boonstra, and others like her, in a breathtakingly mean-spirited floor speech — going so far as to say that “all” of their negative experiences were “untrue” and “lies.” Reid now claims he doesn’t remember saying any such thing, but there’s video tape: (see Reid video at link)
In his effort to discredit Boonstra, Reid relied on a Washington Post “fact check,” which effectively ruled her story half true. In fact, every claim Boonstra made in the ad has been confirmed, as explained by the Detroit News’ Dan Calabrese:
"Boonstra is on five different medications to help deal with her leukemia. The Blue Cross PR spokesman claimed that they are all covered. But when Boonstra went to fill her prescription for Loratadine — a prescription-level equivalent of Claritin that she uses to control congestion brought on by chemotherapy — she was told that Loratadine is not covered. She has not yet attempted to restock any of her other meds but she is already having to come with strategies to deal with that problem. The $5,100 cap on Boonstra’s out-of-pocket spending is for in-network care only. If she has to go out of network, she could spend an additional $10,200…When Boonstra was first diagnosed, she had to go through a painstaking process to get approval for her chemotherapy drugs to be covered. When she finally found insurance she liked, she had no problem with the chemo drugs. She now says that process is starting all over again. Boonstra has already had to cut back on her bone marrow biopsies, which she was having on a regular schedule".

Julie Boonstra, Kochtopian Alarmist.
GOOD LORD IN HEAVEN LOOK AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE ( THE DEMON CRATS ) ARE DOING TO THAT DEFENSLESS CANCER PATIENT ! please GOD HELP THAT CANCER PATEINT !
not sure what that means, but OK
Libs are anti life, kill the unborn, kill the sick. Who can’t look at the soul of a hard core liberal and not call them evil.
The scary thing about the mindset of the slime making these comments and death threats is this: I’d be willing to wager that, if one could have access to IP addresses and names of folks of this ilk, you would likely learn that a major portion of them are federal and state civil serpents, most probably pouring forth their venom on government computers on our time. These people lean almost exclusively left/Democrat (it is, after all the party of government) and overwhelmingly favor anything which expands their power, income and influence. These same cretins will be the ones running healthcare if the Obamacare monstrosity is fully implemented, and they will be the ones deciding whether you get the expensive operation, lifesaving drug, or instead receive relatively cheap “comfort care”.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Find a way to contribute to and support conservative, small-government causes anonymously.
Union goons.
In the war on freedom this is just “collateral damage”.
Hey, you can’t break the health care system without killing some people.
I love that line “ Civil Serpents “
These liberals can’t make up their little minds.
Abortion = good
Guns = BAD!! If it just saves ONE Child, gun control is worth it!
I could go on but I have other things to do.
I don’t understand why the LDS doesn’t sit him down and have a little talk with him. If they’re worried about publicity, the moron Reid is killing them.
The sad thing is I remember a time when he would have been kicked out of congress for the things he says on the senate floor. Now only a few of us on freerepublic complain.
phrase “Kochtopia” coined by Reid... look for it online... his feeblemindedness is legendary at this point... the Koch Bros. are living rent free in Harry’s mind... and lemme tell ya, space inside that pea brain of his is at a premium.
This old fart is so disgusting he makes me want to throw up.
A picture of reid trying to find something truthful he has ever said.
Those crossed fingers could have been One Finger Salutes, before the Guarantor of Bonds, Oprah Winfrey decided to be more diplomatic. How about using that old photo of Obama sipping the last marijuana hit from a spliff? He looks like Tony Danza used to look, only dumber.
utopia is beautiful
Reid’s a Mormon?? I didn’t know that.
