The moral of the story is doctors aren't perfect and it takes multiple tests or multiple opinions to get a diagnosis correct. I could name many other examples in my family.

Your situation must be serious to require a shot. I guess vitamins weren't enough.

How about the meeting with the “Blue Dogs” on Wednesday? How about all the closed door Committee meetings in the House and the Senate?

And the last minute 300 page amendment to the Cap and Tax Bill?

Why weren’t those on CSPAN?

Yeah, we tried several oral vitamins and my body wouldn't absorb any of them. The shots work well, though.

None of my kids had their tonsils out. They used to remove tonsils almost for any serious sore throat. Then they discovered that tonsils have a function - - they absorb dangerous radiation that might otherwise harm the body - - and decided there needed to be stricter criteria than a sore throat for removing tonsils.

A friend had her mammogram which showed a suspicious spot.

Because of that she had an ultra sound of that spot.

Because of THAT she was scared to death it was cancer.

Because of THAT she underwent a biopsy which came out negative for Cancer.

My point. At what phase of this exam should she have been told she did or did not have cancer?

And furthermore, she is now considered "high risk" so her future mammograms will be diagnostic instead of the basic one.

Under Obamacare, what tests will be rationed?

I have to say it again: (just picked your post out of the blue...)

*************************

When this “health care for all” crap passes, right now the legislation states that it will be illegal to sell private policies over the date of passage. It also says that HSA’s will no longer be allowed. That means that my current policy will no longer be allowed and neither I nor my employer will be allowed to privately purchase an alternative.

I will not accept the “public option” that I will be dictated to join. I will not give the government control over my physical body. I will not pay their fines, I will not surrender to the impending warrant for my arrest. When they knock on my door, I will not answer. When they kick it in, I will make the news.

How’s that for unification, libtards? You loons are currently legislating my death. I will chose the terms and I will bring as many of you along as possible!

*********************************************

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,..”

” Giving up your doctor patient confidentiality”

That right to privacy was the center of the Roe V Wade decision. These idiots don’t even realize that they are running roughshod over their own favorite USSC case!

Their own legislation will some day be used against them to outlaw abortion. It will be to expensive and is optional......

Libtards are truly tards.

My son now 46, had his tonsils out when he was 2 years old. He was so sick with infected tonsils that between the age of 18 months and 2 years 2 months he lost a pound and a half of body weight. That is a sick baby. he never had another sore throat until he started school and then not often.

My daughter at age 26 had a constant or reoccurring infection in her tonsils that continued for almost a year before they removed her tonsils. I think both of those surgeries were warranted.

When he said that, my daughter turned to me and calmly said, "Did the president of the United States just use a Matrix reference?"

Well, I wouldn’t go that way. That kind of response allows them to take you out, that’s what they want. And they will.

Better way to go is to find a good conservative legal group like Liberty Counsel, Alliance Defense Fund, etc. and fight it up to the Supreme Court. Get it knocked down as unconstitutional. That way you can get your message out, you can put a rational face on the objectors (instead of armed militant govt needs to take out) and get the thing overturned.

It would be ironic though, to have your government wind up killing you for refusing government health care. I just think you could fight it in a more effective way and maybe get the law tossed out as unconstitutional, and be known for doing that and helping out a whole bunch of people. You want meaning in your life and have your life be worth something and help a whole ton of people? Do what I’m describing. Set up a plan now to take the law down, since you already know you are going to be against it. Dying alone in your house is letting thme pick us off one by one and controlling the story to paint you and the rest of us as armed nuts - that now need to be disarmed.

Step 1: Find a good legal group that can help with your expected upcoming case. You will also wnat them to have someone who is very savvy with the IRS as well.

Step 2: start getting funds together for legal defense. There’s a lot of people who will want to see this law (if it goes thru) go down, tap into their anger and frustration and ask for support. Have cookouts, get bumperstickers printed up with stuff like “No Dr. Obama” and “Obama Isn’t My Doctor” and stuff like that and generate some funds while at the same time getting the message out and driving around the community.

Step 3. Develop the legal plan and steps to take once you actually have refused it. Start implementing the plan. File the necessary letters and legal paperwork to the appropriate agencies and courts.

It just goes to show that Obama thinks very childlike. He seems to think that movies present real situations. Remember the gift he gave to the Prime Minister? Obama has an unhealthy obsession with movies.

Other slogans and stickers you could print up and use to generate money to help:

“If the government plan is so great, why won’t Congress & Obama enroll in it?”

“Politicians = Private Cadillac Healthcare Private Citizens = Forced Government Healthcare”

“Obamacare: Abortion and Euthanasia are covered”

“Forced Government Healthcare: YES WE CAN
Citizens have real plan choices? NO YOU CAN’T”

“Obamacare: Participate or Be Fined $2000 a year”

“Obamacare: The only “Right” that if you refuse, you’re fined $2000.”

“Obamacare: 1 trillion to fix a 10 billion problem.”

“Obamacare: The Future is Rationing.”

“Obamacare: We’re from the Government and we’re here to help you.”

“Obamacare: Healthcare with the speed of the Post Office, the friendliness of the DMV, and the compassion of the IRS.”

Of course I would do all of that, but the only enforcement the government has is their guns. That is why we have the 2nd.....

Since there is no longer a war of ideas allowed, there is very limited options available to us as citizens.

Obama: “Skip is a friend of mine”

Obama: “that guy forgot his keys”

Friend = that guy.
