    The other irony was that “60 Minutes” led off with a story about how much fraud was in the Medicare/Medicaid insurance. While they concentrated on FL it painted the picture of just another government run organization who was incapable of policing itself and their very policies and procedures are what make them such a tempting target.

    There is an estimated $60B a year in fraud in this system.

    I saw this. Bless their hearts for having to bear the suffering of a sick and diabled child. I feel and pray for them as human beings. But why Axelrod? Why not any one of thousands of other families?

    The Administration and their friends at CBS are clearly exploiting this very personal story to be used to win hearts and minds in the healthcare “debate”. Ironically, those of us with family members with dire needs similar to those of Mr. Axelrod’s daughter would find ourselves SOL in a government-run single payer scheme, given the Left’s well-publicized plans for rationing.

    Color me cynical but I’m sure David Axelrod and others at the top of the new Socialist ruling class will have special arrangements made for their families that will exempt them from the most onerous aspects of government rule.

    They’re SO much better at this than the GOP. We lose at this game every time, and it’s to our shame, really, because we have a larger contingent of people of faith.
    True compassion does not flow from a bleeding heart or good intentions. It flows from the grace and mercy of a living God through the people who are called by His name.
    If we’re not demonstrating that grace & mercy, the deception of the left will continue to prevail in the voting booth.

    WHY do we have to have total health care reform as defined the left before they can fix that problem? What makes anyone think there wont’ be even more fraud in the reform? Pulling my hair out.

    I think all the smooching will become ineffective when the 2010–2012 tax returns are prepared and the higher taxes are no longer hidden. And when the much higher energy costs and continued unemployment numbers become reality to all. Or when your doctor no longer accepts Medicare.

    Because it’s our fault that Axelrod has to spend so much time on this.

    I think they learned that putting the Tea Party and Town Hall meetings on TV fired up the opposition. Now they’re going to ignore them and try to fire up the supporters.

    Having 3 children that are Epileptic 2 have very serious forms of it,I’m always encouraged when there’s news on Epilepsy that lets people know that Epilepsy is a very tough sometimes fatal disability,instead of the easily controlled one it’s often potrayed as.But with that said I couldn’t watch it,because I know very well who David Axelrod is and what he’s trying to promote in socialized medicine and I can’t stand Katie Couric.It makes me ill to think of people who dump their children in homes because they don’t want to care for them,especially with the money that family has.Please spare me the phony tears.Linn

    Simple propaganda…soften his image and make him look human. He and his crowd represent everything I despise about politicians.

    If they have to lie about their goals, then they know what they’re doing is;

    Illegal

    Improper

    Unpopular

    Dishonest

    Immoral

    You decide…I have. I will fight them tooth and nail, and will believe nothing that emanates from their facial orafices.

    So Axlerod neglecting his family for his job is supposed to be laudable? I seem to recall Michelle telling O’Reilly and Fox no thanks to spend more time with her family. She said it was the best decision she ever made.

    Now she is able to write a best seller, two columns a week, remotes for Fox and runs two top blogs, while demanding time for her family. This is a remarkable person with her priorities straight. Axlerude, not so much.

    The counter plan is simple. “I care” is meaningless unless it is followed by “I do.” Pick a person you know needs help and help him remain on his own two feet, independent, help him earn income to improve his condition or otherwise help him improve his condition if he’s really unable to work. “Don’t just care. Do something.” Do it with your own time and your own money. Two people will benefit, the person you help and yourself.
