Lori Roman: Government-Run Health Care Killed My Father
(Lori Roman) - "I recommend that you seriously consider a "do not resuscitate" order, said the seemingly nice man in the white coat. "He has diminishing quality of life. And, if he has an infection or illness, we can provide comfort care for him." This was my first introduction to government-controlled "health care." The man he was suggesting unworthy of penicillin or CPR was my happy, loving father, a man who lit up the room with his smile and kind words, despite his dementia. A man who served his country in WWII and lived an honorable life. A man who was otherwise healthy and active.

Lori, this is a TERRIBLE story!
Why did you let your father DIE rather than invoking your liberty to pay out of pocket for the health care that you so clearly saw he needed and would have benefited from?
Perhaps your highly paid jobs as a Chief of Staff in the US Department of Education under the Bush administration, and your later job with the right-wing public policy lobbying organization ALEC (committed to "free markets, limited government, federalism, and individual liberty"), didn't pay you enough to foot the medical bills in the private market?
But at least you have your liberty!
