"The Obama administration called together 150 doctors from all 50 states yesterday in the Rose Garden of the White house. According to one senator from Georgia who is a physician by trade, Senator Phil Gingrey said the white house staff was handing out the white coats to the doctors as they entered the Rose Garden. Makes for great press to see the president talking to this large group of doctors, who didn't think it necessary to bring their own white coat".

Does the President of these United States really deem it good press to go through this staging? There is one thing that bothers me That's what one of the doctors from Georgia said before he left Grady Hospital to go to Washington:

Said Schneider, who practices and teaches internal medicine at the Atlanta hospital and is also on the faculty of Emory University’s School of Medicine. He estimates about half the patients he sees at Grady don’t have health insurance — which he said has contributed greatly to the hospital’s recent financial woes.

This hospital is the largest in the south, if you are in jail you go to Grady. It sits right in the middle of the poorest areas of Atlanta, all the indigent go to Grady, but my biggest argument is the fact that obama and all or most of the Democrats say their are millions going with out health care, but this doctor says "half the patients he sees" that tells me they are getting health care.

The Tax payers have been footing the bill for these people who come to Grady to get medicine and doctors care. My issue now, the government is wanting more tax money to care for anyone who wants can get insurance off the sweat of my brow. You have not proven to me or anyone else that it will not include Illegal aliens. But if your going to play games like the one in the rose garden, I say forget it!
