"Prayer isn't supposed to replace medical attention."
--But sadly that (or desperate hospital emergency room visits) is the approach Bush and the GOP Congress want the 10 million innocent uninsured American children (from whom they have fought ferociously to deny health insurance) to take when they need treatment for their cancers, decayed teeth, and broken bones. I guess it's just too bad our kids weren't born in Iraq. Sure, they'd live in fear of being bombed by us daily but at least we're funneling enough money into the infrastructure there (while our bridges and levees disintegrate right out from under us) such that Iraqi children can receive decent healthcare. God DAMN the Republican Party. ;-(

Welcome to today's episode of The Weak & the Illiterate. Poorly educated conjob: I didn't state that this was Bush's fault. Where specifically do you READ where I claimed this particular incident was Bush's fault? Exactly. NOWHERE. I merely pointed out the fact that Republicans are willing to allow millions of children to go without health insurance and possibly suffer life-threatening illnesses and die. Now, please log off of Propeller IMMEDIATELY and do not return here to post again until you've taken a remedial course in reading comprehension. Thank you, kindly.
PS This time 2 years ago, chickenhawk wingers like you were flapping your gums nonstop and warning us that America would never put blacks,homos and a certain "San Francisco liberal" in charge of Congress. Your tiny little con crystal balls are shriveled up. Stop making predictions you can't back up. And have a nice day. ;-)

meso the fact that you just brough Bush into this conversation speaks volumes.
Poor girl, people have to learn that science and religion can co-exist and there is nothing in the bible against medical treatment. You can bet a million bucks that if the pope was sick he'd seek medical assistance, not a cure from God.

"meso the fact that you just brough Bush into this conversation speaks volumes."
--Well, no...Actually, what "speaks volumes" I think, is the fact that *you* and the Bushwipe above chose to zero in on that one aspect of my post and then you proceeded to lecture me on a point I never even tried to make. Where do I suggest that science and religion can't co-exist? Really, WHERE do you deduce that from what I wrote?
I never said the girl died because she didn't have insurance because I don't know if that was the case or not. However, given that Bush and the GOP (aka the "family values" party) have fought to deny health insurance to millions of children (essentially putting them in the same situation as this girl who DIED because her parents chose not to get her medical treatment) bringing up Bush and the GOP in the context of this story is perfectly reasonable. I'm sorry if you choose not to look beneath the surface.

And still *more* con cluelessness. Are you freaking serious?! Medicaid isn't and never was "always available" to anyone (not even to all poor people) so why are you even mentioning Medicaid ( as if anyone can simply walk in off the street and get approved) when you know millions of children come from families with household incomes too high to qualify?
And why do you freaks keep pretending you don't know anyone who has been denied Social Security disability benefits or that you don't hear the stories of Iraq occupation vets returning home with PTSD and/or missing limbs being forced to jump through hoops to collect disability? You wingjobs know the GOP sweats every penny going into social programs . I can see right through you so don't even try to yank my chain. You cannot be serious...

Wrong again clueless Lib. I am well-aware of the availability of Medicaid and its spend down requirements. You are the freak mesodumb. Got any data on Iraq vets or are you just inventing anecdotal evidence to make a lame political point?

According to a FOX News story (so read this with a grain of salt) "The girl's father, Dale Neumann, a former police officer, said he has friends who are doctors. He started CPR "as soon as the breath of life left" his daughter's body, he said."
--Here is the part I don't get (and which I also think a jury might find problematic). If you truly believe in the faith of God, why wait until your daughter is on the brink of death to suddenly decide that the Deity is... I don't know--maybe otherwise occupied and that *this* is the point where human intervention is needed? As judgemental as that question sounds, I really do not understand how it's possible to switch back and forth like that. Her father was once a freakin' COP! Come on...

Considering the times that my wife and I have taken our 2-year-old to the emergency room or the doctor's office, as well as having surgery on dogs and cats, I can't agree with the parent's actions. God can help your kid while you see a doctor.
