'Obama care'

I was in Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription. I saw a man in a wheelchair who was talking to the pharmacist, whom I was also waiting to talk to. The pharmacist asked him what insurance he had, and he said he lived in Canada and has government insurance. When he was done, having heard how bad it is in England and Canada, I said that our fake president is trying to shove Canadian-style health care down our throats.

He replied, having a broken leg, "You don't know how happy I am that I broke my leg in the United States."

He then pulled his shirt away to expose a really deformed collar bone and said, "I broke this four years ago and have yet to be seen. I am hoping when I get back to Canada that the broken leg opens the door to get this taken care of."

Just the kind of system we want with Obama care. Why don't Obama and all the Democrats go on what he is proposing for the next two to three years? If it is so good, they can let the rest of us know. They have their very own, special, different health care. They have cooks and chauffeurs, and they go on $42,000 date nights — at our expense. Pelosi flies home every week after working three very hard days. Now they can really relate to the people on the street.

God bless America, and God please help us.

" OTH: The general trend for failure of laetrile is that the patient must absolutely renounce MD-sponsored treatment. No radiation or chemo. One guy told me that surgery was still necessary because the tumor came loose like a ball stuck in his bladder and it had to be removed surgically.

Additionally, strict diet with massive vitamin and enzyme overdose.

The diet probably should remove sulfur-containing foods, although healthy. This includes cabbage. Seems ironic, but sulfur diverts laetrile into being a pain-killer instead of a cancer agent. "

" OTH: I'm sorry to read about your aunt. This subject is both scientific and political, but lives are at stake.

Ironically, Dr. Vera Joanne Allison lost her own life to cancer, and so was her own son.

When the fed's raided Dr. Allison, they seized everything out of her lab, all of her networking information, and all of her money.

Literally, she was deprived of a laboratory to fight her own disease.

At one time, Dr. Allison got in an automobile accident, and at that time, her son was painting a motorcycle in the garage without ventillation. The garage doors were shut because Reno, NV was below 0-degrees F freezing while he was painting the motorcycle. Needless to say, he was inhaling some nasty fumes. Because of Dr. Allison's accident, she did not observe the symptoms, herself hospitalized, while her son developed significant lung cancer. "

" danielh

I had an aunt who opted for laetrile. To make a long story short she died. Her cancer continued to grow only none of the laetrile people bothered to tell her. "

" It is fairly obvious that the writer of this letter has never dealt with a severe illness in her immediate family. If she had, she would know how badly we need reform of the health care and insurance systems in this country. I have a health plan that is considered good by most people, yet when my wife developed cancer, we not only battled for payment, but approval for treatment. In several cases, her treatment was delayed by weeks while the insurance company decided it they would consider the treatment necessary. The delay almost killed her. I have to say I was thrilled when she went on Medicare due to disability. They are far less of a hassle than private insurance! "

" Vetica, I'd like to hear your proposal for reforming healthcare. Just how do you suggest we help people with preexisting conditions and those whose employers do not provide insurance? What about children--does every child deserve access to healthcare? "

" I am a veteran. My VA health card is an identification that is good enough to get me through security checkpoint at Travis Air Force Base.

Washington is still campaigning for the Real ID Act, which requires us to carry a chip on our ID card.

I don't pay attention to anything Obama says, but if he's talking about health care, it must be a continuance of Hillary Clinton's study which culminated in her husband's State of the Union campaign stating that Americans only needed to carry the Health Care card with them at all times. "

" after the raid, the FDA had some pretty good propoganda against here. I read it carefully. The incident was such a landmark victory for the FDA that propoganda probably could still be found, 15 years after her death. "

" I have first-hand knowledge of a clinic that operated saving lives in cancer.

Dr. Vera Joanne Allison was a student of Dr. Krebbs who discovered Laetrille worked miracles with cancer.

Dr. Allison was one time, in the case of my ex-wife, labelled a quack, because there were not residual symptoms of the cancer for future confirmation that the cancer ever existed in the first place; and, Dr. Allison could diagnose cancer by examination of the blood and observe white-blood cell characteristics.

She was also disrespected because her public relations skills were often short, and public citizens expect more PR and no delivery.

The hell with my recovery, give me some attention!

Also, whenever federal agents raided her clinic, their psychological pleadings were always considered more believable than patient first-hand experience. "

" I have a friend who fell down on his luck and lost his health insurance here in the US. He can't whine and moan about the US system though, because he is dead.

It turns out that he had a heart condition that could have easily been diagnosed if he had access to even a routine checkup.

Of course, I realize that all of this is anecdotal but, since Ms Vetica is asking us to make policy decisions based on conversations she eavesdropped on in Walmart, I thought I would throw it in to the mix. "
