They will never walk, or talk. They will always be in diapers and use a feeding tube in order to eat. One is blind, the other only has partial sight. The list goes on.
If not for the medical care that my daughter has been able to get for them, though not always without a fight, they would not have made it this long. She depends on help from the Government for most of the equipment they need to survive.
Under Obama's Health Care Plan, my grand children's lives are not worth much. I guess they have no value as they will never be any better.
My daughter is terrified of the Government taking away what help she does receive.
Can you show me specifically in the bill where it says special needs children are worth x? Can you show me where it says, "so and so's children" are not worth much?

Until you can show a letter from the United States of America or whatever state your daughter lives in stating that your grandchildren will lose their medical coverage SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL BEING PASSED IN CONGRESS, I consider this post nothing but bullsh**.

The only way I can see your grandchildren losing medical coverage is if the state is going through budget constraints and needs to medical coverage for children. If that happens, you don't need to blame Obama.

Why did you say such awful stuff? Dern.
What the poster stated was that she is afraid Obama will kill her kids and therefore she opposes healthcare reform. Although it is not true of course, I simply pointed out to her that she is essentially saying "I got mine and to Hell with you" to the kids of other people who cannot afford health insurance and need a public option for their families too. Just like all these old people showing up and raising hen heckles while they sit around and get Medicare- which is taken out of MY paycheck every 2 weeks.

Honestly - what is the point of keeping those children alive? It's not like they can live any sort of quality life.

They will always be a burden on the tax dollars and contribute nothing (then again - we have plenty of 'healthy' people who do that -- living on some sort of faux disability).

It's a bit late to say that, the kids are already 11 and 13 I believe...

"""Gee, they must be quite a help...those "government" types.""



"""Under Obama's Health Care Plan, my grand children's lives are not worth much. """



WHY? WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT?



I guess they have no value as they will never be any better.
My daughter is terrified of the Government taking away what help she does receive.






Then all she has to do is apply for nice affordable health insurance from some kindly, generous private For-PROFIT-Not-Health Insurance company ....and I'm sure they'll overlook that "pre-existing condition" thingy




How much were you paid to post this bunk?

Isn't it cruel that the OP wants his/her grandchildren to be covered but not other peoples sick kids?
