see MomMD’s post #2480.

Also, she kept slamming Douglas on the polls from CNN Fox and Gallop that showed 75% want this bill scrapped. Douglas basically answered that we don’t know what really was asked (the pollsters skewed the polling question) and that the American people don’t really understand what is going on. Kelly pressed her and pressed her that Americans don’t want it and she kept implying they were just stupid.

To: All

Let me get this straight, the dopey Slaughter woman is giving this sob story about a constituent who, because her health insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of dentures, had to wear her dead sister’s teeth?

Thanks to all you posted funny pics, btw, I’m laffing and spitting at them all.

So here’s a story....TRUE.

My husband oncit upon a time had very bad teeth. Very bad.

Now he had a way of “hiding” his bad teeth but for reasons he could not fathom, his teeth started going rotten sometime in his 20’s. He had massive dental work on them, once as a teenager and once again in early 30’s.

He could, through practice, kinds hide his very, very bad teeth by smiling a certain way...that sort of thing.

I knew he had bad teeth. I was puzzled but they never hurt him and he tended to them meticulously...odd.

Over the years I kinda forgot about it save for an occasion when he’d smile and I’d get a glimpse of those bad teeth.

I don’t know why he didn’t go to a dentist, get the damn things pulled. He said everytime he went to a dentist, they kept trying to “save” the teeth. He was in misery so he figured if they don’t hurt he’s moving on.

This is a true story...a good one.

Besides, as with most of us never mind that dopey Slaughter woman, our health care plans do NOT cover dental work unless there’s some medical connection. Almost always, if that be the case, you gotta fight for any coverage.

So husband, in Sept. 2008 gets pneumonia. Bad. He goes to hospital, they take care, then they release him. You’ll have some pain and fever but keeping take the med and you’ll get betteer...they told him.

Only he didn’t. His right arm went numb. Then he began having seizures. They found some sort of black gunk in his lungs and after an MRI, they discovered that he had FIVE HUGE puss filled lesions IN HIS BRAIN!

He almost died. It was a long recovery, beginning with a seizure that lasted so long they finally had to put him a coma. Intensive care, hospital, eventually to a rehabilitation to learn how to walk and talk all over again.

It was a year long horror show.

So Infectious Disease doc tells us that husband had some kind of fungus thing, that they kept testing and testing, but they never could figure out what it was. After months of intravenous antibiotic...six times a day, middle of night, through a PICC line....finally they pronounce his body rid of the horror that was eating him alive.

“We think it got into your brain through your teeth,” ID doc says.

We were both shocked. ID doc wrote a letter to our health insurance insisting that husband would not be declared healed until an oral surgeon went into that jaw and removed all those rotten teeth AND chisle away that rotten jaw bone, which too was black.

The health insurance DID, with no argument, pay for husband’s oral surgeon. Husband had to have very special care due to his brain infection. They knew his jaw bone holding his teeth was black, they knew he had a brain infection, they knew that his pneumonia had somehow unleashed something, something maybe living a happy life in his mouth bone, living on the calcium in his teeth, into his blood stream.

It cost almost twenty grand to get that operation and all of husband’s teeth removed. Oral surgeon told us that his mouth bone, whatever it’s called, was rotten to the core.

After all was said and done....common agreement is, amongst all the docs, that husband had some kind of some living thing in his teeth, mouth bone, that it was alive and sucking out his calcium...no one ever quite figured out what it was.

Poor husband struggled his life to fix his teeth but something was living on them.

Now in this case health insurance paid for the oral surgery, no arguments at all. Like I said, it cost a pretty penny.

Only...THEY DIDN’T PAY FOR HIS DENTURES!!

We had to pay for dentures ourselves.

Understand I was only too happy to pay for them but point being...the Dems would paint the health insurer, already out over a hundred grand for care of husband and let’s not forget my own quadruple bypass just a year prior (yeah, 2008 was a great year) and now we’re talking about three hundred grand...but hey, the Dems would tell the story about how poor husband had to pay for his own dentures!

Husband looks like a million bucks with his new teeth, btw.

Rush is absolutely right. It has been a disaster for Obooboo, so far.

They did a fact check on the argument that Obama had. He was wrong.

I agree the Dems aren't gaining much from this, but it is all in the media coverage, and I am sure they had their stories written days ago.

CSPAN3 right now is interviewing a lady from POLITICO. Her title is HEALTHCARE REPORTER.

I am so annoyed. I had a meeting this morning and hoped to be home by 10 but it ended up being a long one and including a lunch. Now I am trying to catch up and this thread is racing.
I did see a few clips of some of it. I see Obongo is showing what an real SOB Marxist idiot he is. That smug look.... arrogant, pissed, how dare anyone cross “the one”.

So Alexander told him our premiums would be more, Obongo said no, then he got a little note passed to him, and had to admit they would indeed be more. That’s just great...10-13% more, what is the #@%$&*&^ point of this bill? I pay 2530.00 a month, for my wife and I. That’s just our share, I won’t go into what we pay for the employees who we also provide health insurance for. It’s a good plan, but we have a co-pay and a deductible. That is 30,468.00 a YEAR. So 13% more another 3,960.84 a year AND we get taxed on our plan because it’s over a certain amount. So they make it cost more, then tax us on it.

FUBO FUBO FUBO FUBO FUBO you arrogant, mean, nasty little man with the most evil, hate filled eyes I have ever seen.

Oh.... and the comment to McCain was one of the rudest, most condescending remarks I have ever seen. It’s good people are finally seeing this monster for what he is. I loathe this man, LOATHE! He is hands down the most unlikeable person I have ever seen in my entire life. He is an A’HOLEx100000000000000000000. I can barely look at his face.

I am so proud of the Republicans representing us today — they get it! Nice to know at least one Party listened to all the people who showed up at the Town Halls.

Was thinking the other day we lost so many Republicans out of the House and looks like what we have left are the best of the best and conservative on the issues. Now we need to supplement them with more conservatives who listen to We the People!

I'm hoping it's a bucket of used dentures.

I was also late to the thread, several here have reassured me it is going well for the pubs.

Rush Limbaugh is on the verge of saying he was wrong to tell the pubs to stay away from this summit.
