Health Care is an extremely emotional issue for some. My husband and I have wonderful health care. But, my best friend in Chicago is 55 and works for a law firm. They do not provide health insurance any longer and she cannot afford it. She just found a lump in her breast and cannot afford to go to a doctor. People say hospitals and doctors will work with you. She tried that. They don't. Would any of you anti-public healthcare proponents care to tell her what to do???

Health Care in America should be just as much of a "Fundamental Right" as carrying your precious guns. In fact, more.

As long as there is one homeless person in this country, one starving child, one American without Health Care... "The American Dream" will remain a myth.
