Cheney Back in Public, Thinner, With Heart Pump
*snip*
The LVAD is implanted next to the heart to help its main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, pump blood through the body. Such devices are used mainly for short periods, to buy potential transplant candidates time as they await a donor organ.
Cardiologists said that in Cheney's case, the pump is likely a "bridge" that will keep him alive until he can receive a heart transplant. Many cardiac experts said at the time of his surgery that Cheney may be only one step away from a transplant but could find himself on a wait list for "months or years."

No, this a conservative web site. If you want to promote socialism, have at it. But this isn’t the web site for it.
Socialism? I think you’re responding to the wrong post.
Certainly the wrong poster.
God’s Blessings on Mr. Cheney. I hope that he holds on until a heart will be available.
You say that Cheney supported Obama care and I question that. The article that you link doesn’t say anything about Cheney supporting Health Care Reform. Did I miss a line?
WELL SAID STARWISE!
Prayers nightly now....I have such a love for this man and all his hard work, and efforts to make America great.
---I hope Dave and Jackson are still around to provide love, to him, too!
He would have made a great President, but it was never in the cards. He will go down in history as one of the greatest Vice Presidents in history, one of the very few VP’s who was as important to this nation as the President.
Whatever the future brings for him, our prayers will be with him. I hope he sees this thread (wonder if he lurks?) and knows how much we appreciate what he has done for this country.
I haven’t seen a recent picture. Fit & trim maybe, but he looks old. It might be the expression on his face or just my shock at seeing such a different man.
I LOVE this photo so much. That look that Cheney is giving says it all. He knows what kind of vile person Obama is and how horrible Obama will be for America. Prayers for VP Dick Cheney that he will be OK. I have been a fan of his for a very long time.
