He is a typical (male,white,old)conservative who is still living in the past, just like the vast majority of Oklahomans who need to wake up and realize that this is the 21st Century and that we can't continue to keep the same old, outdated, bigoted thoughts that were common to this country in the past.

He was hired when the baby was 1 year old. They found out he has a blood disease and the insurance says it was something he was born with so it is a pre existing illness and will not pay all the specialists he has seen. No treatment either. I had insurance with United American Health, it had a clause in fine print that it covered one illness one time. I had a heart attack and they covered the stint, I also needed surgery and they dropped me. I now have a pre existing condition and cannot get insurance. My country has left me to die.

Notice he doesn't mention he HAD GOVERNMENT INSURANCE! What a scumbag, he would rather see his constituents die than hurt the insurance industry. “But as a two-time cancer survivor, I think this health care is pretty damn good, I think it’s pretty dang good.” Notice he doesn’t mention he HAD GOVERNMENT INSURANCE!

You are an embarrassment to this country and the state of Oklahoma. You're a hypocrite and you need to be voted out of office. You and your ignorant, right-wing ideas and policies have made Oklahoma one of the poorest states in the union concerning healthcare, education and social services. You're up for re-election next year. Do the state of Oklahoma a big favor...don't run Senator Coburn…STFU!!! You are an embarrassment to this country and the state of Oklahoma.
