"True love is watching someone die of cancer." It's a sentiment I've lived through. More than once. And anyone else who has done the same knows the look of person who has seen the most important person in their universe endure a brush with death. That's why this video hit home for me. In it, former President George H.W. Bush comments on his wife Barbara's recovery after a "routine" heart operation.


Now whether or not you consider heart valve replacement surgery routine for a women of 83 years of age is one thing, but what can not be disputed is the joy and relief expressed by the former president. How many other Americans will have this privilege? How many of us now know that when the time comes, our own loved ones will be similarly cared for? These are particularly relevant questions when douche nozzles like Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) has the gall to state that "Health care is a privilege...It's not necessarily a right."

Fuck you. Seriously.

Fix health care now for the rest of us.
