"My support is not a blank check"

A father's heartfelt open letter to Obama, as his health insurer will only pay for 4 of the 6 injections his diabetic daughter needs every day.

Until you tell me Mr. President what I am supporting I can not support you. I will not invest my energies to be taken for granted and dismissed or told to back off. I will not invest my energies in supporting bad legislation. I will support a strong public option. A platform you campaigned on.
