So, lets have universal medical care, for starters. One of the hardest parts of being poor is the lack of access to medical care.

Oh, yeah, they can head off to ERs. But how do they get, say, a flexsig, or, say, mammogram? Anything preventative. They can't. They do get treated when it's too late, though.

The "compassionate conservatives" poo-hooed Oregon's attempt to provide medical care for the poor, preferring, I believe, to see 'em die. That's the inevitable result, and even a conservative can see that.

Hard to imagine, isn't it. The wealthiest country the world has ever seen, with untold billions for defense against a rag-tag bunch of incompetents and it can't fund health-care for it's poor citizens.

But you say times they are a'changing. Let's get started. Write your congersman!!
