Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is a Monster
Why you
might be asking?
Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is
The March of
Dimes paid in full
Mitch
McConnell's hospital stay
for Polio as a child
until he was
completely healthy.
So,
to
understand how terrible this is, first you need to indulge me and listen to a
story.
You see, way
back in 1944, when Mitch McConnell was only 2 years old, he contracted polio.
The disease,
which often paralyzed those it affected, hit McConnell hard and threatened his
ability to walk,
but thanks to
the hospital in Warm Springs, Georgia,
that was
funded
by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (NFIP), a charity started
by
FDR to treat
people with polio,
McConnell was
able to recover and live a normal life and grow up to become a senator.
Well, as you
know, McConnell and his cohorts in the Senate have been drafting legislation in
secret that will take health care away from
millions and
millions of Americans.
They've been
doing so with no public hearings, no public debate, while refusing to meet with
patients' groups that wanted to get the senator's ear about how this
legislation could negatively affect, you know, sick people.
Among the
groups
as
the American
Lung Association,
the American
Heart Association,
the American
Diabetes Association,
and
the March of
Dimes.
Thank you
