A group called the Chicago Tea Party Patriots publicly heckled a grieving family and suggested that the couple fabricated their tragic story.

At a town hall held by Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) on Nov. 14,, Dan and Midge Hough spoke about how they believed the death of their daughter-in-law and her unborn child were caused, in part, by a lack of health insurance. Twenty-four-year old Jennifer was uninsured. According to her in-laws, she was not receiving regular prenatal care and was not properly treated when she got sick. She ended up in an emergency room with double pneumonia that developed into septic shock, had a heart attack, a brain bleed and a stroke. The baby died and Jennifer died a few weeks later.

Midge Hough was heckled by anti-reform crowd members. "You can laugh at me, that's okay," she said, crying. "But I lost two people, and I know you think that's funny, that's okay."

So all of a sudden they stopped caring about a fetus in the womb? Usually they wait until it's clear of the vagina before they stop giving a damn...

But that would force them to step away from the real cause. The THREAT OF REASONABLE HEALTH CARE!!!!!!!


Shlt, I get scared just typing it. No life is more important than stopping this evil entity.

If her parents were so grief stricken, why weren't they helping her obtain pre-natal care?

Still, no cause to be a jackass like that.

Oh, pretty sure the tea baggers and "compassionate conservatism" aren't really aligned philosophies.

Here's a thought: maybe none of them could afford it?

Have you literally zero understanding of WHY we're trying to reform healthcare? I'll give you a hint: it's not because we love socialism.

Yeah, I understand why. Sure I understand they may not could have afforded it.
Did I say buy her care? I said help her. Like this:

" Illinois has a section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waiver that extends Medicaid eligibility for family planning services for 5 years to Medicaid-p*articipati*ng, child-bearing age women (ages 19 through 44) who would otherwise lose Medicaid eligibility for any reason other than having moved out of Illinois, not meeting a Medicaid informatio*n-provisio*n requirement, failing to cooperate with medical support rights, or becoming an inmate or resident of a public institution."
