‘Government-Run Health Care’ Saves Teabagger At Protest Rally In D.C.

Still not sure why the man did not turn down the medical help since it is all about socialism and all….  One has to wonder,  if he now carries a little red book, and sings union songs before bed?

It seems striking to me that in the midst of a lily-white crowd of protesters the only people of color were probably the ones with the medical degrees and emergency rescue skills. 

More ominously, a man standing just beyond the TV cameras apparently suffered a heart attack 20 minutes after event began. Medical personnel from the Capitol physician’s office — an entity that could, quite accurately, be labeled government-run health care — rushed over, attaching electrodes to his chest and giving him oxygen and an IV drip.

This turned into an unwanted visual for the speakers, as a D.C. ambulance and firetruck, lights flashing, pulled in just behind the lawmakers. A path was made through the media section, and the patient, attended to by about 10 government medical personnel, was being wheeled away on a stretcher just as House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) stepped to the microphone. “Join us in defeating Pelosi care!” he exhorted. A few members stole a glance at the stretcher. Boehner may have been distracted as well. He told the crowd he would read from the Constitution, then read the “we hold these truths” bit from the Declaration of Independence.
