22-yr old constituent of congressman john boehner dies from swine flu

kimberly young didn't seek medical care because she was uninsured and afraid of the costs. boehner should explain to her parents why he wants americans, like their daughter, to die. boehner needs to explain why the republican party allows 15 9/11's a year.

friends say the miami university graduate who died this week after reportedly suffering from swine flu delayed getting medical treatment because she did not have health insurance.
news of kimberly young’s death wednesday, sept. 23, came as a shock to those who knew the vibrant 22-year-old who was working at least two jobs in oxford after graduating with a double major in december 2008.

young became ill about two weeks ago, but didn’t seek care initially because she didn’t have health insurance and was worried about the cost, according to brent mowery, her friend and former roommate. - daytona daily news

according to the kaiser family foundation, 30 percent of 19-24 year olds are uninsured, more than any other group. despite the conservative argument that young people are voluntarily refusing health coverage in favor of extra spending money, the reality is that high costs on the individual market put coverage out of reach. as suzy khimm notes at campus progress, young people “are far more likely to be working part-time or lower-paying jobs for employers who don’t offer coverage” - think progress

let's see if one single talking head sunday corporate media peep asks a rethuglican a question about the tragedy of kimberly young's passing. one question...a single question to republicans who want to keep letting americans die needlessly.

All this swine flu and regular flu. They are whipping up these designer flu's in laboratories and the spreading them. A form of population control. Just how the hell does the government know exactly when they will hit and who is going to get sick from them...and of course the drug companies are whipping up the cure for a price to squeeze the people for more money. it's all bad business very bad and hey I didn't hear that on Glen Beck

I won't hold my breath on MSM asking the single question.
They are busy spinning the buzzwords "Freedom" to maintain the status quo....
and "Liberty" to make the CEO's oober wealthy, and screw the average citizen.

My own kiddo, for the first time in his life is w/o health insurance, because he had to choose between working his way through college, or going into huge debt.

Sucks!
