Today, about 30 activists gathered in Wichita to express their concern over the possible takeover of health care by the government. For me, what I will remember from today is the story told by Wendy Aylworth about the death of her cousin’s daughter.

Normally I shy away from using humor when discussing such a serious issue as health care. But this is a humorous look at what lies ahead if we’re not diligent.

Here’s a message — much more than that, a heartfelt story — I received from my friend Wendy Aylworth. She cares very deeply about the direction America is headed regarding health care. Now her family has suffered a tragedy caused by government control of medicine. Here’s her story.

Healthcare is the focus of another round of tea parties taking place this week across the country. The Kansas chapter of the grassroots group Americans for Prosperity will organize a rally this Friday in Wichita.
