The timing would be impeccable if the senate and congress were debating national healthcare

Great observtion! Just what the Dems need - another "crisis" to support their cause!

The recent death of Robert Derzon, a Mill Valley resident and retired U.S. health official, was due to swine flu, his son said Monday.

It was soon after Derzon arrived in Orangeville, where he was staying with a longtime friend in early June, that he began to feel ill, his son said. But Derzon resisted going to the hospital.

“My dad hated the emergency room,” Mike Derzon said.

When Robert Derzon went to the hospital, on June 8 or 9, he was diagnosed as having pneumonia and congestive heart failure. An initial test for swine flu was negative but a second more definitive test came back positive on June 15 or 16, his son said.

Seems ironic, or perhaps telling, that a retired health care official would avoid the hospital.
