New Recruitment Tactic

Well here's a new one for ya:

A father in Wisconsin has decided to enlist in the Army at age 39, because it's the only way he'll be able to provide for his wife's cancer treatment. The good news is that the Army medical plan (which btw is provided by the same government that many would have you believe is incapable of providing medical care to everyone) will cover her. The bad news is, he'll be gone for four years while his wife goes through chemo. And oh yeah, they've got a 14 year old daughter.

Go read that, and tell me that we don't need a public option.
