Jack & Jill Politics

I cannot sleep. I made out of state calls today as much as I could. I will do so tomorrow as much as I can.

At 1:30 a.m. after last midnight I lost a first cousin due to heart failure. She was only 50 years young and her death is a total surprise to all in her family. As much as we can assess during the short time since her demise, we know one of her problems is that she did not have health insurance and she governed her “health care” by that factor. We know she did not feel well shortly before she collapsed and she refused “emergency” care upon suggestion. We suspect she feared “medical bills” as she mostly live on minimum wages without health benefits. She was also raising teenage grandchildren without much help monetarily or otherwise.

I know that health care under Senator Obama would provide “preventive” health care, not “crisis” care. It is too late for my cousin, but, it isn't too late for the rest of us Americans.

Vote for Senator Obama.

God Bless you, your family, and those teens.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

Rikyrah, thanks for your countdown of the speeches. It was great to see them again, especially the one at Ebenezer Baptist church.

One of my favorite speeches in the campaign was the Closing Argument he gave in Indianapolis right before the Indiana and North Carolina primaries. He was so focuses, so dialed in, and the crowd hung on every word. It was also the first time he really got to the heart of the story about his in-laws and where he told working people that American needs to be a place again where you can make it if you try.

I've watched this speech more times than I can count.

This is the crime of this country. I too had to let my health insurance go during this downturn.

I am so sorry for your family and loved ones lost. This is too sad beyond words.
