I am beyond disgusted at the senators who voted for this fool.

And yet, there is no organized opposition to these actions by the professional organizations, e.g. AMA. As an aside, there is no opposition to Kennedyβ€˜s appointment. Everybody’s just letting it all happen. Is this wise?

As for the cancer pts who voted for this, I wonder what they’re thinking now.

For my first post, remembering, Dave Kimball on our favorite holiday. So many guests. Some of us cooked, a lot! For entertainment, Dave got out his latest β€œspudzooka” and the hairspray, to launch potatoes into our woods. How we miss him today πŸ’” Support #lungcancer #research #LCSM #LCAM
