My friend Jon Caldara, head of the Independence Institute, worked with the Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity and other local activists to hold a Patients First rally against ObamaCare last week at the state capitol in Denver. It was a typically dramatic and well-organized event, which you can read about here and here. Jon has a particularly effective presentation:
Caldara questioned why Congress was rushing to pass the bill.
“The bill is 1,200 pages long — enough to cover three football fields. Everyone should read this bill before voting on it,” he said as the crowd cheered.
Caldara closed on a personal note, telling about the death of his 1-year-old daughter from a “vicious and extremely rare form of cancer.”
He said he never would have known what caused his daughter’s death without access to private insurance. Under his plan, the hospital diagnosed her cancer with the use of an MRI and offered treatment right away. Caldara said the same system offers the “best care in the world” for his 5-year-old son, who has Down’s Syndrome and has undergone eight surgeries.
