Power Company Switches Off Cancer Patient's Oxygen Machine

This shouldn't be happening in America. But those who oppose health care reform don't care about people like Mable Randon.

in reference to:

"Mable Randon is suffering from the late stages of cancer. She's bound by a wheel chair and only breathing with the help of an electrically-powered oxygen machine. Rucks Russell of KHOU in Houston reports that the local power company sent her a disconnection notice because of late bills. She applied to the Critical Customer Program, a payment plan seemingly tailor-made for people in Randon's condition who depend on electric life support -- but she was denied."
