Senater whitehouse: I would like to what Higher Power made you one click or two better than the rest of the people in the U. S. I relly think that if you want the eldery to have rationed health care then I think you should have the same chance as we have of getting the health care we deserve! You know it would mean if you had to use this piece of Junk of a health care reform that you are proposing. P.S. My mommy always said that if you LIE that you will go to HELL and LICK hot Rocks, so watch out.
