Another good argument for health care reform NOW.
I didn't want to derail the existing threads about Stephanie Tubbs Jones' passing with a health care debate, but it does raise some serious questions...

Ironically, Ms. Jones had a great health care plan, as a member of Congress. I don't know (and there's little point in speculating) why she didn't see a doctor and know that there was a ticking time bomb in her head, but the point is that she could have done so easily, any time she wanted to.

My question is, how many people are walking around (or driving around, as she was) with a similar problem, and will never know it, until the damage is done. Because they have no insurance and can't afford to see a doctor.

And why do we continue to tolerate that in the so called "greatest country on earth"?
