Chicago Tea Party members mock grieving family at town hall

Now this is low, even for bare-knuckle politics.
That's how Chicago reporter Kristen McQueary described the ugly scene
which emerged during a Nov. 14 town hall with Rep. Dan Lipinski.
Facing an audience stacked with Tea Party members, Lipinski introduced a
family who believe they lost a daughter and unborn grandchild because the
girl did not have health insurance. Dan and Midge Hough, of Chicago, said
their daughter-in-law Jenny, 24, was not receiving basic prenatal care
and fell ill with double pneumonia. She eventually developed septic shock
and went into respiratory failure.
"Her baby died in the womb, and Jenny died a few weeks later, leaving
behind a husband and a 2-year-old daughter," noted McQueary, writing for
The South Town Star.
When Midge Hough took the stage to tell Jenny's tale, the Tea Party crowd
began to jeer, mocking her story and accusing her of inventing the sad
affair.
"She didn't have to die," Hough said. "The cost of that was $1.5 million,
or just a little more than that. You guys are going to absorb the cost of
that, is what I'm saying. That's what happens. It's not just Jennifer,
it's all of the people that are out there that are sick and don't have
insurance."
After another round of cackles from the audience, she retorted: "You can
laugh at me. That's okay. I get it. I get it. But I lost two people. I
know you think that's funny."
"Catherina Wojtowicz, of Chicago's Mount Greenwood community, an
organizer for a Tea Party splinter group, Chicago Tea Party Patriots,
falsely claimed that the Houghs fabricated their story," South Town
added. "In an e-mail, she called them operatives of President Barack
Obama who 'go from event to event and (cry) the same story.'"
The reporter characterized the event as "a low mark in a very dark week."

I think she invented it, too. There are numerous government programs
designed specifically for pregnant women, and go to any public clinic
and you will see half of Mexico's population in the waiting room, all
eligible for free medical care for themselves and their children.
All low-income pregnant women are eligible for Medicaid. Then there
is the WIC program that provides rations of essential foods for
pregnant women and their other children. And hospitals can't turn
anyone away for lack of coverage, so it seems strange that she did not
seek any treatment at all.
This pregnant girl was eligible for Medicaid, but apparently she chose
not to apply for it. Now her family wants to exploit her inaction to
lobby for national health care.

You are the liar.
From Chicago journalist Kristen McQueary, this deplorable story:
http://www.southtownstar.com/news/mcqueary/1895502,112209mcqueary.article
As a journalist covering Chicago politics, verifying information is like
climbing a mountain of sand. With each step you take, the deeper you sink.
Last week while researching claims from a local Tea Party activist, I
found myself asking a family for proof that they had lost an unborn
grandchild.
The family, Dan and Midge Hough, of Chicago, spoke in favor of health care
reform and in support of U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) at a Nov. 14 town
hall meeting in Oak Lawn.
Their daughter-in-law, Jenny, and an unborn grandchild died recently due
in part, they believe, to a lack of health insurance. They said Jenny was
not receiving regular prenatal care and ended up in an emergency room with
double pneumonia that developed into septic shock. Her baby died in the
womb, and Jenny died a few weeks later, leaving behind a husband and a
2-year-old daughter.
Catherina Wojtowicz, of Chicago's Mount Greenwood community, an organizer
for a Tea Party splinter group, Chicago Tea Party Patriots, falsely claimed
that the Houghs fabricated their story. In an e-mail, she called them
operatives of President Barack Obama who "go from event to event and (cry)
the same story."
When the Houghs spoke at the Lipinski event, some Tea Partiers ridiculed
them. They moaned and rolled their eyes and interrupted. Midge Hough began
to cry.
The audience, Wojtowicz later explained, was exasperated by stories of
isolated tragedies that cloud debate over the health care bill itself.
"What we are talking about is the bill," she said. "We've all had family
members pass away, but would this health care bill really have prevented
(Jenny's) death? We do question it."

What section of hell do these tea baggers come from? Haiti!
I am not sure why the Christian teabagger crowd would bring up doing
anything Jesus suggested since he was a Jew. Not only that but a Jew with no
birth certificate.

You don't need medical evidence to find out that the tea bagger scum
don't know how to behave in public. They have been kept in trailer
parks all their lives, that and jails, and they haven't had the
experience of a public discussion. Face it bunkie, you and the tea
baggers are racists and that's all you care about. The fact that
medical care can be very hard to get in America with out insurance is
patently true.
