" 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 for the rest of the day."

Let's get it together people! Any questions?

For my friend, Elizabeth, who is fighting breast cancer and my mom who can't afford the medicine she needs to really fight Parkinsons.

Thanks boys - I don't know how much this will accomplish but it still feels good. I put it on my facebook page this morning and it has been fun to watch it spread. Not even my conservative cousins have had a bad word to say about it.

Sorry you and your loved ones even have to go through this. It really is inhumane. Sigh.

Namaste.

If there were a drug for restless soul syndrome, we'd be home free. Thank you for passing along this very simple, yet important message. And to your moms and Elizabeth, all the best. Thanks for taking up the chorus.

"No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick." I saw this today and decided to post it because I agree with it. For those of you who follow Christ, it is our duty to help one another including the sick and the poor. Heck, even Jesus Christ Himself was constantly showing mercy toward others as well as healing the sick....even on the Sabbath day!" This was my comment for the day on Facebook and will stay there for awhile.
