To MY Republican friends:
I just received the following from a former colleague who, like John,
has been a staunch conservative Republican since Reagan. When we
worked together in the late 90s my conversations with him were much
like those with many of you today, only then he was criticizing
Clinton and the Dems in a big way. I had nothing to do with this
letter. And Karl, don't say anything nasty about him not being a true
conservative. His real world experience has given him this
perspective. Please, read it through to the end, and be grateful that
none of us (to my knowledge) has ever had to face the circumstances he
describes.

To My Republican Friends:
Thanks to last night's vote, that child of yours who has had asthma
since birth will now be covered after suffering for her first nine
years as an American child with a pre-existing condition.
Thanks to last night's vote, that 23-year-old of yours who will be hit
one day by a drunk driver and spend six months recovering in the
hospital will now not go bankrupt because you will be able to keep him
on your insurance policy.
Thanks to last night's vote, after your cancer returns for the third
time -- racking up another $200,000 in costs to keep you alive -- your
insurance company will have to commit a criminal act if they even
think of dropping you from their rolls.
Yes, my Republican friends, even though you have opposed this health
care bill, we've made sure it is going to cover you, too, in your time
of need. I know you're upset right now. I know you probably think that
if you did get wiped out by an illness, or thrown out of your home
because of a medical bankruptcy, that you would somehow pull yourself
up by your bootstraps and survive. I know that's a comforting story to
tell yourself, and if John Wayne were still alive I'm sure he could
make that into a movie for you.
But the reality is that these health insurance companies have only one
mission: To take as much money from you as they can -- and then work
like demons to deny you whatever coverage and help they can should you
get sick.
So, when you find yourself suddenly broadsided by a life-threatening
illness someday, perhaps you'll thank those pinko-socialist,
Canadian-loving Democrats and independents for what they did Sunday
evening.
If it's any consolation, the thieves who run the health insurance
companies will still get to deny coverage to adults with pre-existing
conditions for the next four years. They'll also get to cap an
individual's annual health care reimbursements for the next four
years. And if they break the pre-existing ban that was passed last
night, they'll only be fined $100 a day! And, the best part? The law
will require all citizens who aren't poor or old to write a check to a
private insurance company. It's truly a banner day for these
corporations.
So don't feel too bad. We're a long way from universal health care.
Over 15 million Americans will still be uncovered -- and that means
about 15,000 will still lose their lives each year because they won't
be able to afford to see a doctor or get an operation. But another
30,000 will live. I hope that's ok with you.
If you don't mind, we're now going to get busy trying to improve upon
this bill so that all Americans are covered and so the grubby health
insurance companies will be put out of business -- because when it
comes to helping the sick, no one should ever be allowed to ask the
question, "How much money can we save by making this poor bastard
suffer?"
Please, my Republican friends, if you can, take a quiet moment away
from your AM radio and Fox News and be happy for your country. We're
doing better. And we're doing it for you, too.
Yours,
Mike Glennan
