Treatment of glioblastoma is not cheap, and yet right now in Congress the republicans are talking

about depriving up to 32 million people of health insurance.

Congress deals with these 32 million as faceless numbers They seem to forget that faceless people DO have a face and a life

1. McCain is lucky

He has a "Triple Crown"...he can afford to pay for his treatment out of his own pocket, he can use his health insurance as a member of the US Senate, or since he's a 100% disabled veteran he can use his VA benefits!


But his Republican fiends are trying to take away basic access from millions of Americans, because while McCain is one of them, the people they represent are not only faceless and will remain that way, they don't matter!!!

2. I'm thankful he couldn't vote

I'm not thankful he has cancer.

3. Yes, the irony here is striking.

Everyone is hoping that McCain will recover, which is probably highly unlikely, but he will receive the best care that is available, regardless of cost. In the meantime, millions of people in this country would get virtually no care at all if they were diagnosed with this type of cancer. They would be told, "There isn't anything we can do," and sent home to die.

I want a healthcare system that gives full care to everyone, regardless of their station in life. I want everyone to have access to the care that Senator McCain will receive. That should be a given.
