Not so fast on Wilf for President

I guees I spoke too soon. Before the future President Wilf can begin his political career he will have to pay off some medical bills. He was finally able to return home in October 2004. However, per Pete's Post, as reported by the Christian Science Monitor:

After serving 410 days in Iraq with the 1st Armored Division, Spc. Stuart Wilf came home to Colorado on Oct. 2. He changed his clothes, borrowed his mother’s car, and went out with friends to celebrate.

On the way home, he fell asleep at the wheel and had a head-on collision with a tree. He survived, but since he was newly discharged, he had no health insurance.

“That was a mind-boggling thing to find out the first day he’s out of the service,” says his mother, Becky Wilf. “His bill was $54,000 just for the hospital. That doesn’t include the surgeon.”

So much for supporting the troops!! As the article Pete linked to goes on to report, this problem is widespread and being felt by many unfortunate soldiers once they return to civilian life. But I have every reason to believe that Wilf will recover and begin his journey to the White House.

Here's looking out for you Buddy!!
