[Vision2020] Walt Minnick

Sue Hovey stated:

"When Minnick reported obese folks and smokers (or  both, god forbid,) are
the ones who are responsible for this health care mess; that was a tad
disingenuous.  So I inferred from his statement those of you who are, 
just need to stop smoking and eating or die, then our system will right
itself and everything will be ok."

A statement, such as that made by Minnick, is absolutely unconscienable.

My wife, who would probably be the first to admit, is obese.  She and I
quit smoking five years ago.

One other thing, though . . .

As a result of having not been prescribed the appropriate medication in in
the proper dosage back in 2006, my wife was admitted to Gritman, via the
ER, for severe pneumonia.  Her lung capacity had drastically reduced to
thirty percent.

THANK GOD for Tri-Care and the GREAT professionals of Gritman, she
survived.  She does, however, requre the use of an oxygen concentrator
24/7.

Which would Minnick suggest that my wife give up: eating or breathing?

Anything to save United Health Group a buck or two, huh Walt?

one last thing, Walt . . .

FCK!  The only thing missing is U.

Seeya at Farmers' Market, Moscow.
