From Forward Kansas:

Two months ago a young single mother, Elizabeth Smith, with her 2 year old son in tow, went to town hall meeting in Ottawa to hear from her member of Congress, Lynn Jenkins.

Elizabeth didn't go there with a political agenda. She is a registered independent, but she had a serious question, why does she as a single mother and a waitress, not deserve quality, affordable health care just because she can't afford it?

Elizabeth wanted a forum with her Congresswoman to ask her why the public option was being touted as being so evil when it could do so much to help so many. Instead of receiving the respect and concern of her elected official, she was laughed at, and told we should all just grow up and buy insurance on her own.
