National Health Care.............

Soo, I went to Senator Bernie Sanders Web Site & signed his health care petition. Why? My top 10 reasons ;

Because only South Africa & the US, among industrialized countries in the world, do not have NHC.
Because, Mankind is our business, as Charles Dickens taught us.
Because I already trust our Government with the Army, Navy, Air force, Marines, CIA, FBI, & US mail.
Because the AMA & the insurance companies, don't have our best interests in mind.
Because if a catastrophic illness strikes, folks often have to sell their home, just to pay the medical bills. Insurance companies do NOT pay all the catastrophic illness bills!
"What do we live for if not to make life a little easier for others?" - George Eliot.
Because health care is a right, and not a privilege.
Because you don't wait to die with NHC.
Because not one country has given up with NHC, not one!
Because, "Sicko", the Michael Moore video, is on the mark.
Because I viewed the Bill Moyers Journal, May 22, 2009. [ You can find it online.]

Soo, I signed the petition, how about you?

"Western religious history, can shed some useful light on today's discussion of 'enhanced interrogation' - or as they referred to such practices back in the 15 century, torture. Whether under the auspices of church or state, and whether "well - intentioned" or not, "enhanced interrogation" clearly has no place in any system that aims toward justice and the greater good."
