Gosh, that's awful. 27 is way to young to die.
It may be tasteless, but I have to wonder if he had an ongoing health issue that informed his advocacy for single-payer care.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Ill In Illinois.
There aren't any details out yet as to what caused Skala's death, but he doesn't seem to havee mentioned a personal problem in his testimony on health care issues, and you'd think he would have had he had any.
It isn't only sick people who believe in health-care reform.
True, true, of course not. But often the most strident advocates for causes find a lot of their urgency in personal experience.
Cut & paste from Dr. Lora Chamberlin's e-mail?
No. The quotation is from Dr. Ida Hellander of PNHP, as credited. What did Chamberlin say?
About the same without attribution.
