secretary: Claire McCaskill's office, how may I direct your call?

senior citizen: my wife wants to live. the doctor said she needs a pacemaker, but the public option won't give it to her. They sent us home with red pills.

secretary: have you tried talking to your health provider?

Senior: goddammit, you are my healthcare provider!!!

....

operator: this is the white house, how may I direct you call?

mother: you killed my daughter.

operator: excuse me?

mother: I brought my daughter to the ER with a fever. After waiting 12 hours, she finally got in to see a doctor. They gave her some aspirin and she went to sleep. The medical staff told us that was all they could do unless he had shown any increase in symptoms. she died 6 hours later. the autopsy told us she died on encephalitis.

operator: I'm very sorry, but sometimes these things happen.

mother: that's what the hospital and their five appointed grief councilors told us. an older doctor mentioned that they used to test for encephalitis, using an mri or spinal tap, but since it was deemed too expensive, for such a rare condition, it would be more cost effective to forgo the testing. He was 'kind enough' to tell us that even if an mri was scheduled, she would have had to wait a week to have it done.

operator: well, it was a RARE condition...

mother:rare for the country, but she was my only child.

operator: let me direct you to a grief councilor for some help. Heil Obama.

mother: heil obama.

Skippy? Dat you?
