And, ultimately, the National Election.&#8221;  I then traveled on to Tiffin, Ohio (pop. 18,135) where I was interviewed by political reporter Matt Suman.  I told him about Grand Junction, Colorado&#8217;s Marillac Clinic, which we researched several years ago.  Volunteer doctors, nurses, town people who do intakes, janitorial work&#8230; staff a two-story hospital where everyone in the county who doesn&#8217;t have health insurance are seen on an extremely minimal sliding fee scale.  With 46 million uninsured in America, I told Mr. Suman that maybe we should be looking to setting up more Marillac Clinics.  Tomorrow I do a 6:40 a.m. phone in spot on the &#8220;Tom &amp; Beth&#8221; radio show in Fostoria, and after a stop in Fremont,  head north for a series of whistle-stops in towns along Lake Erie in Ohio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average Joe Buckeye Blitz cont.
