1. Been watching it, about that poor family in Oklahoma with their sick

daughter and the cancer-stricken grandparents. Terrible--and Sen. Coburn's solution is no government help--we should all just "help each other". As if I or you or their neighbors have $100,000 dollars to give these people. The GOP solution is charity.

2. I got so angry!
I got so angry at the Republicans when I was watching this that I was screaming obscenities at Coburn on the TV before I turned the station. He is such a worthless, hateful piece of dog shit.

3. So we should all go to our congressman's office
when we are sick - and in under an hour he can teach us how to help our neighbor with their breathing tube (he actually said this).

Even Coburn can't believe this stuff.

4. I watched this last night. PBS has been covering the healthcare reform
dabate on several fronts and doing a fairly good job of it. They have had several fact check episodes on the NewsHour that have debunked many of the RW charges against the Democratic efforts to do something about this problem.

For those who missed it, you can watch it here: http://video.pbs.org/video/1249006923/feature/87
