Giffords does the class thing
Rather than play the victim card, continue to remain in office and ineffectively represent her district, she announced her resignation. Props to her, I'm sure if she's able to return she'll win her district.

I bet her husband the former Astronaut tries to run for her seat. He has been walking, talking, and signing books as if he was running for something.

It's amazing that she is alive at all and the fact she can walk and talk is proof of the awe inspiring nature of modern science and her own fortitude. That is one tough ass woman.

Insurance companies and plans don't treat patients, doctor's do. And being a wealthy individual, she would have been able to obtain the care she did regardless of her access to insurance.

While she isnt poor, she isnt ungodly wealthy towhere the cost of her medical bills wouldn't kill her financially. Most of her bills have been paid by Tillman Fertitta who is the owner of Landry restaurant group and a long time family friend.

Nah..that mentally retarded (due to the gunshot from the bleeding heart liberal) congressman wouldn't have gotten the treatment she deserved if she were on Obamacare.
You should email Obama and ask him why our elected leaders don't have to go on Obamacare? If its good enough for us...right?

Thanks for pointing that out...maybe next I'll start a thread on hypothetical situations.
