[ RadSafe ] Question

[Howard Long]

Heart transplant, muscular dystrophy AND dialysis -
what do you think the Obamacare panel will do?
What do you think any European health care would do
(my brother in law is waiting many months off work in pain in London to get
disc surgery available at the Oklahoma Surgery Center for $9,900 total cost).

If this extremely rare survivor were my neighbor or a member of my congregation,
I would give personal support - and not expect more medical miracles.
