The Health Care vote - at last

Posted on | March 22, 2010 |

This morning’s news about the passing of the Health care bill was a huge relief. I’m not, actually, a big fan of many aspects of western medicine, but I am a fan of human beings. So, when a ‘health care system’ routinely refuses to insure people who are ill, and thus condemns them to poverty and early, painful, death, I tend to feel we live in a country that is not very humane.

That may change now.

And as for the cost $674 billion over ten years, that’s tiny compared to what we have already spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that doesn’t include the long term care required for crippled vets.
