twitterLetter: Republicans won’t allow for change
Thursday, July 22, 1999 | 9:38 a.m.
No crystal ball was needed to foresee how this Senate "discussion" on the patient's bill would conclude. Republicans sold out to the insurance companies. They'll send it to the president who will veto it and we'll be back where we were -- at the mercy of our HMO. They spent $172 million in the last two years on ads and lobbyists.
When your child needs emergency care, when your wife suffers a catastrophic illness and your HMO inserts a business entity between your doctor and your wife or child, and that entity makes medical decisions that could mean life or death -- without fear of consequences -- will you remember those Republicans who voted for them?
Wake up, people, the selling of America, the corruption of government is a fact.
