Per Republicans — The Health Care System Isn’t Broken?

Earlier this week Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, “The American people want us to do everything we can to stop it [health care reform].”
I suggest Boehner talk to some of the people who camped out overnight in Brighton, Colorado lastnight to be seen at a free dental clinic there today. The line was capped at 808 patients, as that was the number the organizers thought could realistically be treated in one day.
David Hathaway, 49, of Arvada was second in line. He is unemployed with no insurance. He heard about the opportunity for free dental care at 3:30 Thursday afternoon and said to himself, “I gotta get out there,” he related.
This morning he has already had two root canals and expects to leave with a cleaning and a tooth extraction as well.
“This is a godsend,” he said. “I think it’s great what they are offering.”
The clinic continues tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.
