This photo is by Wilmar D. Zehr. It is not me nor do I know who the patient or doctor is. More to the point, I'm sure hoping the guy has health insurance. If he is working for a carrier like the one I work for, he has excellent health coverage. If he is like thousands of Americans, he lost his job for whatever reason and he is not covered. His blood pressure is most likely high because he cannot afford this visit or the tests the doctor will need to determine how healthy (or sick) he is. You know that when you lose your job you can obtain a continuation of coverage under Cobra. If you know anyone who can afford the coverage under Cobra, please tell them to contact me. The last time I was out of work, Cobra coverage for my family was about $650 a month! So, according to the Republicans, I should spend a lot of my free time worrying about "the terror threat", what I'm really scared about is losing my job or being too old to work and not having good health insurance coverage, at a price that I can afford. Our "representatives" need to spend more time solving this "crisis" rather than hearing how much steroids were shot into millionaire baseball player Roger Clemens butt. And Hillary can't do it alone.
