David, I'm with you. It seems to me that the inalienable rights of =
life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness certainly must include the right to
health care. The fact remains that we are all paying for the medical =
care
of those who cannot afford insurance and their costs are higher than =
those
who have health insurance that covers preventative care.=20
There is something wrong in a society when some look down their =
noses at
those who can't afford health insurance and then proceed to justify =
their
lack of concern for their brothers by stating that health care is not a
right. I pray that none of these people will ever be in a situation in
which they cannot afford good quality health care. What goes around, =
comes
around, as they say. Christy =20
