That is really a shame that the doctors are so guided by politics rather than healthcare. Perry is a lackey. Especially for Grover Nordquist. He is wrong. He is ignorant. He cares nothing for the citizens of Texas. I can only hope memory doesn't fail voters next time he comes up for a vote. Bad for Texas, bad for the United States, bad for the world. Perry for a buck!

Oh for cryin' out loud: if those folks didn't go and make themselves poor, they could pay for their own dang medical care. What are we the people supposed to be; our brother's keeper? I mean, next some bleeding heart will lay something on us like "inasmuch as you do this unto the least of these my brethren, you do it unto me." .now where have I heard that wishy-washy nonsense....can't wait to see who the Rapture snatches up when it finally does get here, but I know who deserves to have done to him what he's done to others...
