There are real life consequences for many.

With shutdown, no way to apply for a last-resort cancer treatment

A Cape Cod, Mass., man's last-chance treatment for cancer has been postponed by the government shutdown because new clinical trials cannot begin until they are registered on a federal website, which has been forced to stop processing applications.
Leo Finn said he had his bone scan canceled at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston on Wednesday, and the 48-year-old father of three is now unlikely to receive an experimental drug for his metastatic bile duct cancer next month as he had expected.

"It's been devastating for me and for my doctor, who was really excited about this drug," said Finn. "My idea is to get the word out that this is happening, since there may be other patients in the same situation."

No problem

But I think it would be interesting if we could discuss what should be done about health care in this country.

I disagree with much that this administration is or isn't doing. But when we argue about foolish talking points, I am forced to defend against hyperbole.

Berengaria: please reference an neutral, respected website

Translation: any website that agrees only with your view, right Berengaria? Any website that offers a different view to yours is neither "neutral" nor "respected".

Does that about sum up your view?

Berengaria: Never have I encounterd your assertion

1. it was not my assertion, it was someone else's assertion. I just quoted it. Take it up with them if you disagree. Educate them with your myopic view of the world, I'm sure they'd appreciate the enlightenment.

2. Well, now you can't say you've never "encountered" it.

That wasn't me it was BOTR

Nonjwspouse, did you know that the Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by a Socialist? That "under God" wasn't added until 1954?

And here you have it DogGone. Total misinformation. Aggressive ignorance. Not even a desire for facts. Yet they have a superior attitude about education.

PS It is incorrect to say that "THE Democrats" seceded during the civil war. The party split how many times during that period?? How many became Republicans? It was not a simple party line split, nor do either party of today resemble their civil war ancestors. To suggest equivalence between the parties in today's insanity is just ignorant.

It was mighty decent of you to defend another poster though.

You two with your tired liberal clap traps, and silly technical spelling and grammer corrections. It's as if you think that doing this somehow gives you some superior intellect or high ground. It doesn't. Maybe you should focus on putting some actual substance into your arguments instead. Pathetic.

So factual history and proper spelling are Liberal? Ok.

Ok, I can't take it. I must also point out that the Democrats did not secede. Democrat and Republican had nothing to do with it. This was North and South, States. Not a party line, but State lines.

So frankly I hope you leave history to a qualified teacher as well.
