I personally don't count it pork when you have rural hospitals that will close without this bill. I happen to live in Norman so it didn't affect me but a lot of our State is rural and those hospitals were going to close. It would have taken some people two hours or more to reach a hospital which could cost lives.

I agree with my Senator on that portion of the bill.

Thanks for your support!

There are better ways to keep rural hospitals in business. Privatize them. Charge a premium for health care close to home. Healthcare is just like anything else. It is a cost that people must consider, just like food, housing, etc. The job of govt should not be providing everything that people want. Then it becomes a bribe system.
