This Is About My Children

On July 28, Jon Caldara, late-night talk radio host on Denver’s KOA AM850, spoke at a rally for health care freedom called “Hands Off My Health Care.”

Here’s the video:

Caldara asks, “What’s the rush?” and then encourages the crowd to demand that members of Congress “read the bill.”

He also recounts stories about some health care experiences in his family, including his son’s treatment — life-saving treatment he might not have been able to receive in an America of government control over health care.

“This is not about some ... principle,” he says toward the end of his nine-minute talk, “This is about my children.”
