This girl did not make any mistake that led to the accident. She did not shoot herself. She was shot by a careless friend.

“Cosmetic”?!? Just another example of how insurance companies have waaaaaay too much control over medical procedures.”

Uhh, trish? Yeah, that’s not an insurance company policy. That’s the Oregon State public healthcare plan – supposedly a model for how the Democrat’s plan should work. So I guess if you want that to pass, you better hope you never get shot in the face.

“The sooner you get some public health insurance over there, the better.”

Humphrey, the sooner you get some brains over there, the better. She already is on public health care, moron. It was public health care that has denied her treatment. And this is how it will soon be for all of us here. Great, huh?

I do want to see an “after” picture. Healthcare should be about helping everyone, eh?

Oh, and all the hysteria being written about public healthcare is amazing. I am British and this girl would have been treated on the NHS. Of course she would. One of my friends works in the prosthetics department of an NHS hospital and he is very busy arranging prosthetics for hundreds of patients. My mum had breast cancer and was offered cosmetic surgery on the NHS after her mastectomy. She decided not to bother with it and was given a prosthetic boob by the NHS instead (her choice). My friend also had a mastectomy and received cosmetic surgery from the NHS. So if you believe national health care would never offer prosthetics or cosmetic surgery you are simply wrong.

I did some stupid things when I was a teenager that could have ended in tragedy. I was lucky, they didn’t. As I got older I got smarter. This girl made a really stupid mistake and paid for it big time. I hope her surgeries are a huge success.

Ah. The Socialist Republic of Oregon’s Healthcare Plan.

Yep, it’s just a little girl’s face. No reason for a government bureaucrat to approve the procedure at all.

ObamaCare (AKA public health insurance) would NOT permit her to get it either. Look at Canada for example. People are having to come US to have brain tumors removed to keep from dieing. If they can’t get life threatening conditions fixed, there is no way anyone would get prosthetics for anything.

Get ready folks, it is coming and you will hate it.

The rest of the story – she was shot with one of the 15 guns her boyfriend and his mates stole from a gun shop in the town of Beaver, Oregon as she waited in the getaway car.

“Karma hits everyone. You pay for what you do,” said Steltz. “I don’t care if it’s that day or 30 years from then or whatever. And in my opinion, I got the karma for all the guns.”

Good for her. She is a better person than I, for I would have killed myself before learning how to live with this.

Poor kid. jeeeez what a story. Oregon can kiss my butt.
Health care is a joke, being disabled myself I can’t get a simple tooth pulled because dental ahs to be emergency surgery only, but I can get my teethy cleaned once a year. Go figure.

This woman is a trooper.

I’m sorry, but if I ever lost my face I wouldn’t “teach blind children life lessons,” I would bitch and whine and make life hell for everyone who knew me.

Ah, the beauty of Oregon’s socialized medicine.

Hey, it’s just one little girl. The government panel decided she doesn’t need a nose job. Next!

Come on. It’s one little girl. So what?

It would be a terrible thing to lose your face or even lose the use of the face. You portray so many different emotions and commands with your face. Its good that someone helped her.
