This is one of the most fascinating articles I have read lately. We never hear of these things in our daily news cycles. It is at once horrifying, hopeful, sad, and frightening. In the middle of the article, this paragraph jumped off the screen at me.:
"The rising survival rate, now touching 95% for those who live long enough to get medical treatment, is in turn introducing new problems caring for patients with serious and chronic injuries, including multiple amputations and brain damage. The cost of treating such lasting injuries will be borne by the U.S. medical system for decades to come."
Immediately, my mind jumped fast forward into "obama world" where death panels WILL be established, and I got cold chills down my spine.
What fate lies ahead for these Wounded Warriors who gave so much?
Please read this article. It is about a different kind of terror that most of us will never know. That we send our best and our brightest to bear the brunt of foolish and selfish decisions by a corrupt political elite is bad enough. But with the amazing advances we have made in medicine, these Warriors who would at least have had a future, might now be left by the wayside as a drain on our healthcare system.
We MUST not allow this deathcare bill to prevail. We simply MUST NOT!
What Have you Done?
An open letter to Americans:
As a Canadian, Ive been observing for some time now, with great concern and even greater disbelief, the political farce enacted day after day in your country. And I keep asking, what have you done? For it seems to me, and to many others as well, that you have embarked upon a truly destructive course that may eventually bring the United States to the brink of ruination.
What have you done? You have elected a president on the strength of an ellipsis, neglecting to fill in the three dots trailing after his every echoing jingleYes we can what? ....
Absolutely!!
