Harry Reid dismisses cancer patient Tom Coburn´s Obamacare concern
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/1/15 | Joel Gehrke

Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is battling cancer and will retire at the end of his term.... When Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., pointed out that the majority of cancer centers in the country aren´t covered under Obamacare while arguing that the law´s problems go beyond early website issues, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., dismissed the critique as too "in the weeds." Coburn, a medical doctor battling cancer, panned the coverage offered to cancer patients. "Nineteen of the cancer centers in this country, only five are covered under Obamacare," he told the Washington Examiner Tuesday, a data point he

It's not written in blood. Perhaps one of his minions. Like Brian Williams.

I noticed the coward didn’t sign the note.

BTW, Harry Reid is a mean, senile POS and I have called Harry’s office and given them my name, address and telephone number and told them the same thing.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not gonna get all wee-wee'd up about that doctor-patient stuff that's so far in the weeds we'll never even find it. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

If an average citizen wrote the same letter to Mr. Obama, Mr. Reid, Ms Pelois, or Ms. Sebelius, the swat team would have already crashed through the front door at 3:00 am with guns blazing.

Exactly. Why are we wasting time talking about real individual people when we have a nebulous “population” to talk about...

That's right .... treat the lumpen population, keep dealing with problems in the abstract, at the populational level, and you can broom all these individual personal problems under the rug, one at a time.

That's how you run a bureaucracy ..... especially in a country where the people don't like you and you're exercising their government powers in adverse possession, against their interest and to their manifest injury, because Osagyefo Boss Man hates their lily-white guts.

Copy and paste the letter, then change “dying” to “lying” and send it to Reid. I would but I’m computer challenged.

I call every republican in the senate a coward. Someone should have stood up for Coburn and knocked the hell out of Reid. Hit him so hard snot comes flying out of his nose. People will think it’s his brains until they realize it’s too much.

Sometime ITT CEO Rand Araskog, rolling the Sisyphean boulder uphill of meeting and exceeding his predecessor Harold Geneen's standard of being a horse's ass in a big office, developed a vituperative and volcanic disposition, which he used to terrify his reports.

One day he was erupting more violently than usual about some petty boardroom b.s., and one of his henchlings cautioned him, "Take it easy, Boss -- you'll get a heart attack!"

Araskog snarled in reply, "I don't get heart attacks -- I give them!!"

Will the cancer centers be able to remain open if plans don’t include them? What are the Democraticks thinking?

Harry Reid is an ass-wagon of the first degree.

While I cannot and will not defend Dr. Coburn's vote in every instance, and indeed have taken him to task more than once, he has proven to be a great man and a great legislator, one I can be and am proud to have counted among those who have represented me. I wish him and his family well, and am thankful for their efforts on my behalf. May the Lord bless them heavily.

Hairy Reid, on the other hand, is a snake and a charlatan. I have no use for him and believe it would be best for our Republic were he to retire and spend his later years contemplating his navel.

Reid cannot hold a candle to Dr. Coburn as a man and a Statesman.

Did the sender of that vile letter put a “Black Heritage” stamp upside down on the envelope? Not only is that person a hateful liberal (but I repeat myself), but a racist as well!
