Limbaugh tells Marcelas: "Your mom would have still died, because Obamacare doesn't kick in until 2014." On the March 12 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh aired a clip of Marcelas' remarks at the health care event and said, "Now, this is unseemly, exploitative, an 11-year-old kid being forced to tell this story all over just to benefit the Democrat Party and Barack Obama." Limbaugh later said, referring to Marcelas, "Your mom would have still died, because Obamacare doesn't kick in until 2014."

So what if parents take their kids with them, it is no where near the same ball park at politicians using the sob stories of children to ram thru their legislation?

I beg to differ with you. The kids at the protests don't have a clue what their signs mean or what the issues are involved with health care. The little girl who lost her mother has a huge understanding of what happens when someone loses there health insurance.

Of course...Progressives have no shame do they?

The OP thread is another example of using the kid as a posterboy. Talk about prostitution!
Why is it that conservatives can never separate children and prostitution?

You can never have a serious discussion with the insane.. because no matter what you present to them they will condemn it and attack it...
What better way to illustrate the problems with out healthcare system then to show a REAL story where a child is now motherless because she didn't have access to the treatment she needed to live because it wasn't available to her or couldn't afford the availability of it...
And in response to this REAL story you want to say "you're exploiting the child for an agenda"??? well I'm sorry but any agenda that is seeking to ensure that something like this doesn't happen to another American Child.. I'm all for it...even if glen beck thinks otherwise

The access was there; she didn't go to the hospital. She quit seeking treatment.

treatment cost 100K per year
I dunno.. I'd probably consider giving my child up for adoption so I could die rather than be riddled with that sort of debt as a single mom and trying to provide for him/her.....
I can't say for sure I've never been in that position, but I can say that the thought would cross my mind
we live in a nation where someone would be weighing those options.. in other first world countries they don't have to be put in that position... just sayin
