8. Could you tell me how to donate?
I haven't donated yet, but I want to contribute so that more poor people can receive basic medical care through these programs.

5. He's right - if those in Congress would go there, they might get...
...what's happening in America. And if they don't feel anything, they're not human.

7. Ed Schultz Just Made Me Cry... I Had Turned Off My PC So I Would Stay
away from my "addiction" here at DU because it has disturbed so much lately. I was going to post that instead of giving my money to DU (sorry, I only have so much) I'm going to give some money to the Free Clinics! Actually, I'm still crying right now.

I had to go to the eye doctor today, I HAVE insurance and found out that my operation isn't going to cost me the $2800.00 I expected because another procedure can be done for less money. Now I can afford to add to the money we need to put a new roof on our house by February because our home insurance requires it. Even though I still need to save some more money by February, I will take $50.00 to give to the Clinics!

This is heartbreaking! Going back to watch the show now... maybe some others can give some money too! Please do!

Thanks!

11. Ed and Keith have done more to advance health care for everyone than
all of Congress and Washington combined.

14. I posted this yesterday in another thread....
Thank You,Thank You To all the people who donated,Volunteered and especially to the Doctors,Nurses,and Technicians who took the time to do this!

Posted yesterday Dec.9.09

"I went today to get checked out and to my surprise my total cholesterol level is.....262!!

Holy Chit Batman thats frickin High!! and I am a really skinny dude! More tests are in order here.

They also did a ECG.....ummm,they recommend even more tests (On top of the cholesterol) as the ECG had some abnormal readings and the Docs were lets say more than concerned.

Again thank Ya'll (Both the Clinics and Volunteers) as I would never have found this out with the cheesey med care I can afford.

Ya'll did a Great Job!

Catching this stuff early may actually keep me on this planet longer so I will have more time to give Repukes/Teabaggers/Neocons as much grief as possible before I pass on!"

Thanks to all as I would never be able to afford the quailty of care I got yesterday!
