Here here!

I'd lay bets that there are or have been pouches in the Senate & House...because we've has presidents with them, also. Unfortunately politicians have an income and/or insurance that allows them better access to healthcare. So it's not just an ostomy issue, it's a healthcare issue. Joy joy
