not wasting $200M developing a failed, then scrapped,
Health Care Exchange website - while lining your campaign's pockets - which is the singular thing that his opponent Lt Gov ANTHONY BROWN had done in his 8 years in offce which we can actually say ANTHONY BROWN was in charge of doing - and did!
Can you imagine how many leukemia patients could have been treated for how long with $200M - well based on my niece's experice I'd estimate roughy 200 for the initial 3 to 4 months of constant infusion care (with Mom as nurse attendant). We were fortunate in that Michigan did have a program at that time (pre Univeral Health Care) that kicked in and picked up expenses for those diagnosed with terminal illnessses but not before all the paperwork was processed. At which point the hospital handed m sister, a single mother of four (two of the father's being former VETS who wormed their way out of paying their child support) of "her" portion for the treatment (uncovered) in excess of $1M. We are talking about a mother of 4 who had just gotten a job where she made over $25K for the first time in her life- and had to quit in order to serve as full time nurse to my niece. We tried. We approached everyone. Local charities. News media - every paper, publication, even penny savers. Every local church within a 75 mile radius. City, county, and township councils boards. Schoolboards. State and Federal legislators. Many people were concerned and tried to help! God bless them. But $1M was too much for a mother losing her home serving 24 hrs a day as nurse to also act as fundraiser for - even with the good intent of many. Ultimately, tbankruptcy as the only solution.
Now does it make sense to spend that $200M developing a website and setting up a "model health care exchangech" (which incidentally lines your campaign's pockets and is audited by both the federal and state govenment - then scrapped in favor fo the Ct. Exchange developers, who actually did develop a site underbudget that worked first time running and enrolled far more people than projected) or does it make sense to use the $200M to say actualy provide some real assistance to Americans who through have sufferered some truly disastrous medical crisis?
VOTE GANSLER/IVEY
BROWN IS A REAL FLIM-FLAM MAN.
