I do not want to believe that there are those who don't believe that healthcare is a fundamental right - that it is acceptable for 22,000 people to die because they can't afford to go to the doctor. If we believe, and I do, that everyone deserves the same level of care, how can we ask people to wait? or to be left out entirely. When we do, finally, really believe in the right of every citizen to have access to medical care, we will find a way to accomplish it. AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
