Can’t you imagine an America with no poverty, free health-care, free college, no terrorist, no voter fraud, trustworthy politicians and no greed? Which of these has Obama used to capture your imagination? Ask yourself what has Obama done in his life to prove to you he can build this great society other than being a democrat?

FROM the OFFICE of THE INSPECTOR GENERAL:

HERE is the WEBSITE ADDRESS SO YOU CAN SEE ITS LEGITIMATE:

May 08, 2006
The University of Chicago Hospitals (UCH), Illinois, agreed to pay $35,000 to resolve its liability for CMPs under the patient dumping statute. The OIG alleged that the hospital failed to accept an appropriate transfer of a 61-year-old male who presented to another emergency department with a complaint of flank pain. UCH had specialized capabilities not available at the transferring hospital and allegedly refused to accept transfer after learning that the patient did not have insurance. UCH then later agreed to accept transfer of the patient only if he provided proof of funds in a bank account. The patient was transferred to another hospital where he died.

I sure HOPE that SENATOR OBAMA addresses this issue IF he becomes our President because he did NOTHING about it while Sen.
Yes this IS the HOSPITAL that over-charged the uninsured and it is ALSO where Michelle Obama sits on the board her salary is now 317,000 a year.
DOES CLINTON own the OFFICE of the INSPECTOR GENERAL? CAN’T you see that OTHER BARRACK SUPPORTERS GAVE GOOD RESPONSES, mud-slinging makes YOU look bad, this is NEWS, it is LEGITIMATE, and it is IMPORTANT including to the Obama Supporters.
Rotor he was turned away because of NO insurance, not because of bed or equipment, look again he was a TRANSFER patient, they NEEDED specialized equipment that Chicago had! Keep in the context. I am glad I am getting mostly adult responses, this is NOT a bash against Obama, but it is about HOW much can you really BEAT the system?

bookie0116 asked:

I need health insurance, but i’m overweight. Not unhealthy or anything but just overweight. A lot of insurance agencies are turning me down because of it. Now i have a bunch of people calling me trying to sell me insurance, and after looking up their names i found out that they’re fraud. Please help me, i don’t want to pay 3 or 4 hundred dollars a month for insurance.
And i would love to have a well named/known insurance company to insure me in Texas.
