Time to warm up the spin machine.

“Republican opposition”
“Republican sequester”
“Global Warming”
“Congressional gridlock”
“Failure to pass comprehensive amnesty bill”

ANYTHING but the fact that Obamacare is a monumental pile of unworkable feces that can not be polished or picked up by the clean end.

But, but, but, I thought that his President's free healthcare for ALL would have cured him?

Former Hollywood stuntman turns to the web for help

Len Richard, a semi-retired Hollywood stuntman, is praying for a cure he believes is possible through an infusion of fresh stem cells.

Richard, 41, of Matteson, will head to Mexico later this year to receive an infusion of 50 million stem cells. Through the care of Dr. Michael Hino at Ensenada Health and Wellness Center, he’s hoping to reverse congenital hepatic fibrosis and have his liver functions returned.

Despite legal concerns and the inherent risks of excessive cell growth and the development of tumors, Richard will head to Mexico after he raises enough money for surgery.

“The last thing I want is someone else’s organs in my body,” Richard said. “There are other ways of doing it and stem cell therapy is something I want to try.”

Richard has been unable to work, but he’s trying to muster online donors to help him pay for the medical procedure. The procedure costs $6,000 and a 10-day stay in a hotel will cost about $2,000, a total of $8,000.

He has an online fundraiser set up on www.youcaring.com/stemcell, with a goal of $7,000.

Since 2007 Richard has been battling diabetes, weight loss, vision problems and exhaustion. Doctors at Rush University Medical Center diagnosed him with congenital hepatic fibrosis, an inherited disease that inhibits blood flow in the liver.

“I’ve been stable, but I’m not out of the hot water,” Richard said.
