Sen. Kay Hagan Gets Earful on Healthcare
If I can find embeddable video later I will post it, but don’t miss this confrontation in Winston-Salem with the North Carolina Democrat by a mother who “lives in hospitals” with her two children. She comes off knowing way more than Hagan, who just comes off as ignorant.
If I can find embeddable video later I will post it, but don’t miss this confrontation in Winston-Salem with the North Carolina Democrat by a mother who “lives in the hospital” with her two children. She knows way more about Obamacare than Hagan, who just comes off as ignorant. Kudos to the NBC affiliate WXII for capturing and posting the story. A taste:
“I don’t want free health care. Because I will sell everything I own to pay for my children because this is America,” the concerned parent said.
Bonus, 7:30 a.m. 8/19/10: In this April radio interview, Hagan refuses to answer a question about whether the health care mandate is constitutional.

I emailed Senator Hagan many times during the Healthcare debate and did not receive a reply for months. She has voted for all of Obama's disastrous bills. I will remember in 2012 when she comes up for reelection.

I contacted her several times, and asked her not to support Obamacare. She never replied. She was drinking the kool-aid, and she was going to vote for it regardless. We should send her home at the earliest opportunity.

She can still sell all her stuff and send it to the insurance companies, so I guess I don't see what her problem is.

@jpe:
"She can still sell all her stuff and send it to the insurance companies..."
Yeah, but proponents of government-paid health care want me to sell MY stuff and send [the money] to the government, who will then "redistribute" health care dollars to the "deserving" as determined by the government.

I have tried at least 20 times to contact Hagan through email with no response. I have contacted Kissell through email. I know some Democrats do listen and respond.
