Duff lucky to get heart surgery now
Timing is everything, Mr. Hufnagel. If we were under Obamacare, you most certainly would not have been permitted to have your heart valve replacement surgery. The government panels would have decided that you were, in fact, too old to have any such thing. You would have been advised to enjoy your next six months.
I am so glad you were able to have your surgery and wish you many more years of life. And thank you for your service.
