Several of my friends on Facebook have posted this slogan as their status. I think it should be spread around as far as possible, because it encapsulates in a sentence or two the pressing, moral reasons why we need healthcare reform in this country. So please act accordingly:
No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day. Thanks for all the others who have posted before and after me...
By the way, in no other developed country in the world, that I know of, is there such a thing anymore as "medical bankruptcy" or people dying because they cannot afford health care. These are simply beyond the Pale of civilized societies. It is a MORAL DISGRACE that both of these things are still possible in this country, which we pride ourselves as being the best country on Earth.
