First Responder's Health Care

I don't know if anyone noticed last week with the tax breaks getting extended, "Don't ask don't tell" getting repealed and all that, one very important bill didn't quite make it through. This is a video clip from Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show". You don't have to tell me, I know that the Daily Show isn't really the best place to get news, but watch the video and you'll understand. The most powerful part of the video is about 6 minutes 45 seconds in, when Rep. John Kyl is complaining that working the week after Christmas would be disrespectful to the holiday. I like how New York Firefighter Kenney Speck responds.

Since this show aired last week, ABC and FOX news have picked up the story and are raising awareness. I don't care what your politics are, watching the Republican party filibuster in order to avoid having to vote on this bill, and then complain about possibly having to work through Christmas makes my blood boil.
