This story was on the local news here in NW Arkansas. Right in Blanche Lincoln's back yard. I realize that it is not a real diary, but, geez, people this man needs help.
Jeff Clardy, 47, of Fayetteville, AR is a small businessman. He has health insurance and he needs a heart transplant or he will die in 3 months to a year. Unfortunately, without the $150,000 needed to pay for the anti-rejection meds he will need, the doctors can't do the operation to save his life. He can't even make it on the waiting list until he ponies up 150K. Gee, Blanche, can you spare a dime?
The links are to the KFSM Fort Smith, AR news station that ran the story last night. The other link is to his website. This is the true 'bake sale' health care funding that is unfortunately so common in this country. How many people have to die to get the attention of these politicians?
