Scare Tactics on Parade:
“Health authorities say almost a hundred children have died from the flu and 46 states now have widespread flu activity. More than 5,000 people have reportedly died from swine flu since it emerged this year and developed into a global epidemic. In Houston, Texas, there were two swine flu deaths… What do we say to that child’s parents? I can only imagine that there might have been some difficulty in that child receiving that flu shot. So many are in that predicament, so many do not have access to doctors and clinics and health insurance or a vigorous, robust public option”
—Sheila Jackson Lee, Congresswoman
On Thursday– This week on “Voice of the Nation” we will be discussing the healthcare scare being pushed through congress. Polls show that the American people do not support government run healthcare. Why is it that after a summer of discussion, concern and voicing our objections to the healthcare policies being put forward by this congress that the concerns of the people are not being heard?
Join us as we speak with Cheryl Flake, wife of Congressman Jeff Flake of Arizona. With personal experiences involving their son, Cheryl believes that if they didn’t live here in the US with the great medical care and advancements available here, her son would be severely handicapped.
