MARY FALLIN WOULD DENY "TINY TIM" HEALTH INSURANCE??

Governor's Executive Order Eliminates Healthcare for Babies & Newborns

Oklahoma City, OK-- State Democratic Party Vice-Chair, Dana Orwig and Party Treasurer, Donna Russell posed this question today when it was discovered that Governor Mary Fallin and Insurance Commissioner John Doak created and signed an emergency rule (365:10-1-15) eliminating birth as a "qualifying event" for individual healthcare coverage.

Treasurer Russell stated, "Simply put, this leaves an infant uninsured and the parents, not their insurance companies, responsible for ALL hospital charges. Fallin and Doak sold out our state's newborns to the insurance industry. What happens to preemies or babies with high bilirubin? As a former teacher I believe this is the most irresponsible attack on our children I have ever witnessed."

According to the Oklahoma Department of Health, the delivery of a premature child can cost approximately $64,000.00. The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy asserts that Oklahoma ranks 5th highest in teen birth rates and 4th highest in child deaths.

"Fallin's actions have the stench of hypocrisy. She claims to be pro-life and in one single moment she puts the life of every single newborn in danger and every family into potential bankruptcy...as a member of the clergy, I find her actions immoral," Orwig stated.

Both officers concluded, "This is a pattern of behavior by Republicans, using the insurance industry as a whole to mislead Oklahomans on how to plan for their futures properly. As mothers, we cannot believe that Republican Governor Fallin and Republican Commissioner Doak, who claim to support family values, do not have the moral compass to protect those who cannot control the circumstances into which they are born. It is reprehensible to stick hard-working Oklahomans with the bill and they should reverse this order immediately."

As far as I can see, people may not approve of the President, but they damn well prefer him to the DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS, and by a wide margin.Must suck to have Mr. Nineteen Percent as your leader!Oh, and your "list"? Ever heard of a little agency called the Environmental Protection Agency, created by that "Evil Rethuglican" Nixon?Civil Rights: which party pushed through the National Voting Rights Act? Hint: it's not the party with the ex-Grand Kleagle of the KKK as a sitting member of Congress.VA: which President has increased VA funding faster than any President in history? He's still in office...SEC/securities fraud (Enron, etc): prosecuted by the current administration for fraud done under the watch of the previous administration.And the list goes on and on...I can understand you wanting to claim all those good things since so little has come from the Left...

WIOD is high-wattage, which means a larger distance. When Hurricane info comes on, they're generally going to stop playing talk radio and go news/info. The point is moot, and concrete idiots like MOP and hashfanatic have no case on which station should get it.Does anyone, by perchance, know what "clear channel" actually meant at one time? WIOD was a "clear channel" station, if my memory serves me correctly...which means it was supposed to be THE station with defense, military, and emergency inoormatifn on it. It still applies today.So, to all the leftists on here, if you want to play with people's lives, go ahead. But be forewarned...if a hurricane hits Broward, and people die, it is going to be on your heads. Just like Katrina is on Ray Nagin's head.

OH, WELL....

Nixon reacted to the people, that is all, deep down do you think Nixon cared about Civil rights? I almost choked on my breakfast reading that one. Hysterical.Well well, I think you just conceded game, set, and match...For you see, if you were so good! at the debate, you would know that the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act - both of them passed only because the vast majority of Republicans in Congress pushed the bills through - passed in 1964 and 195, respectively.About 3-4 years BEFORE Nixon was in office. And passed against the objection of a majority of the Democrats in Congress (including that lovable Grand Kleagle, Senator Byrd).So, if you're SUCH the master at debate, how come you get BASIC FACTS wrong?And for the record, Richard Millhouse Nixon pulled us out of the Democrat-started Vietnam War, and created the Environmental Protection Agency.Yes, master of debate. Against a mirror, perhaps...

I know I live in California and we are pretty out there with food, but it's just amazing what people will do to maintain the culture of an area. Those children deserve better.
