*Charlene Dill, a 32-year-old mother of three, collapsed and died on a stranger’s floor at the end of March. She was at an appointment to try to sell a vacuum cleaner, one of the three part-time jobs that she worked to try to make ends meet for her family. Her death was a result of a documented heart condition — and it could have been prevented.

Someone should be held responsible for her death.
I would cause such an uproar if this were a relative of mine!!
I would go to the Supreme Court. I would be on the steps of the White House.
why go to the steps of the White House? would be better to protest Florida since they refused to accept Medicaid expansion under the health law
