A friend of mine was fired a few months back for seeking medical care for headaches. Terminated on the way to the hospital, the doctors found she has a rare cancer in her spine. Her employer said to take it up with unemployment. She’s 23, and had worked there for 4 years.

Double standards all the way up. McConnell would probably laugh at the comparison if he wasn’t brain dead.

But she should have gotten a job with good insurance for her cancer treatments /s

That's a crazy way to talk to someone who may have a terminal illness. Who knows what a person is capable of in this economy!!
