And in denying their humanity, we betray our own.<br /> Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment." Elie Wiesel, 1999<br /><br /> The same should be said about the state of our health care system.Phil Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150881545903849250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-40979680392162486402012-03-21T05:26:46.852-07:002012-03-21T05:26:46.852-07:00i agree with other commenters... mb bc so many are...i agree with other commenters... mb bc so many are shutting up and rolling over, things are so bad. its brave people like you who stir the pot and make things change!!Alicia Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244714478310893367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-75625507012594058462012-03-21T03:30:10.881-07:002012-03-21T03:30:10.881-07:00Don't let the turkeys get you down -- and don&...Don't let the turkeys get you down -- and don't shut up and roll over!

The problem is that universal health care here in the USA would mean less $$ to corporate insurance which translates to less campaign donations.
