FTA:
Dick Cheney can have the choice of doctors. He can go to any hospital. He can have excellent standard of care. And he's alive today because of it. And there are a lot of people who aren't.
Rose Ann DeMoro is executive director of the CNA. Under her leadership, the union launched an ad campaign that's designed to shock: It claims that if Cheney were just a regular American, he'd probably be dead by now.
What the nurses are saying is, there shouldn't be a double standard. There should be an excellence in care that applies to all people. We, as the public, pay for Dick Cheney's care. Why is the government not providing the same type of care to all Americans?
Now there is a damn good question. Simple answer would be that they don't give a chit about anyone but themselves but it must be something less caustic otherwise every American would have the same care.
