She's not ill often, but when my wife gets sick, she confuses the doctors. When she had a tubular pregnancy, she had no pain in her ovaries so the doctor didn't think she was pregnant at all. She insisted that he give her the test, and he did.

The next day, he called frantically because the test showed she was pregnant and he knew the fetus was not in her uterus. They got it out a few hours before she would have ruptured and bled to death.

Under Obamacare, the government will publish a list of what is covered and what is not. Since my wife did not have the right symptoms, a doctor wouldn't want to get in trouble with the government by giving her a test that was not on the list.

Government isn't very good at making judgment calls - they've been suspending kids for bringing cough drops to school because that's what the rules say. How can we expect health rules to be any different?

This is what people mean by Obama's "death panels." When the government decides what can be treated and what can't, people are going to die.

Please tell your representative to vote against Obamacare.
