Every Social Program started in this country, had skeptics and critics...and now they all
use, all those benefits they criticize so much. If you don't like Medicare or Social Security, don't use them...if you have the $$$, more power to you...but leave those less fortunate, alone.

A Little Story...a true story. Back in the 70s, while working in South Central LA, at
Martin Luther King Jr....way before the scandals in the 2000s...around 1am at night, I received a call on 2 drive-thru gunshot victims, coming in. Mother and Son...the mom had a .32 bullet lodged between ventricles...I did open-heart massage...when CPR is

The man gave up all he had!! all the personal family memories, his dreams, a

Just because you’re poor, doesn't mean...you don't have Moral Character, as Rick Santorum and Rand Paul, both have so arrogantly suggested.
Now, he wouldn't have had to do all that, if Affordable Care was around then.
Something is wrong, when Medical Insurance, becomes a more important issue, than the people being Insured.
