Fund-raising to pay doctors

We used to have fun-filled singings every weekend to help people pay their medical bills. Then came Obamacare and the singings stopped because everyone had medical insurance. Even the free clinic closed for lack of patients.

Now that Bevin is closing down Obamacare in Kentucky, I’m sure our weekend entertainment will resume.
