Dear Congress,
I hope you de-fund and kill ObamaCare.
ObamaCare killed my brother in law.
An outrageous thing to say? Listen to this shortened version of this story and see if you don’t agree.
My brother in law, Dr. Philip Henderson, III of Longview, Washington, was a fourth generation doctor in this medium sized logging town in Cowlitz County in Southwest Washington. He was responsible for bringing 6,000 babies into this world. He started programs to help poor women receive prenatal care, helped out at a free clinic he helped start, gave thousands of hours –totaling five years–of his own, unpaid time to cover OB-GYN emergencies at the local hospital AND he volunteered for ten years at both local high schools to give teens “the talk.” He lobbied Senators and Congressional reps in Washington, D.C. in an attempt to slow the debilitating effects of ObamaCare on women’s health care in Washington State.
He was a community treasure. Loved. Respected. See the stories about his life HERE,HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and there are many others. See the pictures attached.
In the past several months, ObamaCare “winner” and “survivor,” Kaiser, ended its contract with Dr. Henderson’s four partner OB-GYN clinic, Lower Columbia Women’s Clinic, and decided to take over the thousands of patients this local practice had built up over decades. This move was designed to consolidate care necessitated by the constraints of ObamaCare. And this meant that many patients would now have to travel 40 minutes south to Vancouver, Washington to receive care. My brother-in-law’s practice would lose their patients. More important, their patients would not be able to keep their doctor–a promise made by the President about ObamaCare.
Stay with me.

““When the American people finally wake up to what’s been done to them ...”
I wish I could truly believe that, but I fear that we have a long way down to go before the spell that we’re under is broken. I hope and pray I am wrong.
When the low info voter set begins to realize that they and their chillrun aren’t going to get what they’ve been getting, lets just say I wouldn’t want to have my name on the door at the nearest social services office.
There will be others like Dr. Henderson, but they will decide to take some other people with them. May the people that support ObamaCare and that voted for Zero in the first place be cursed for what they have done to this country and their fellow Americans.
” but I fear that we have a long way down to go before the spell that we’re under is broken. “
Even the great prognosticator Limbaugh has admitted that he doesn’t know when or if America will finally wake up. Obama is fully protected by both the media and the stunning, degraded ignorance of the American people.
An America that could elect an Obama in the first place has degraded to a point that is hopeless.
In my view the American people won’t wake up this time until we as a nation are in a terminal position.
My oh my, aren’t you the compassionate one?
Note to self: extend the same empathy to Veggie Toad when he has a tragedy in his life.
Lowbridge, ignore the peanut gallery. Some folks don’t understand how the loss of a loved one can affect one’s sprits.
You’re both in my prayers.
He isnt my brother. I have no relation to the guy. I posted it here on FR because I thought it would be an interesting and important story for people to know about
Need to clarify here: The person who committed suicide is not my relation. I just thought it was a interesting and important story to post here on FR.
You should call Rush or email him about your doctor.
Sad story.
It’s unfortunate he didn’t have enough faith to believe that God would utilize his superb talents somewhere else.
That stunning, degraded ignorance is a product of the media protection.
My brother just said “the government is going to run healthcare, ya right.”
Nope, by then the American people will be on the wrong side of an electrified fence with guard towers and machine guns. Just like the German, “Hitler will never do that” German Jews found themselves.
You sure that you are on the right forum?
Lots of these stories now.
My sister is a nurse practitioner. Same thing. I told her to call her representatives. I would ask your brother to do the same.
Not sure what I was thinking when I posted that comment. Apologies.
“In my view the American people won’t wake up this time until we as a nation are in a terminal position.”
I agree, with a caveat. I very strongly believe that we are in a phase of demoralization in America, and that this was a definitive goal of the propagandists that wanted to ‘transform’ us. They started this process at least 4 decades ago. Propaganda can only be overcome with very aggressive responses, over a significant period of time.

Thank you ... Sorry about that.
