If Paul or another republican would have his will, millions more would be hoping a charity would help them. It is criminal that very American does not have health care.

Most of my family is very conservative and think I am nuts. My parents were liberal and I got great values from them. A cousin lived in Belgium and loved the health care her family received. However, when she got back to the states she went back to her old, tired opinion that if you didn't have insurance from your job there was something wrong with you.

I believe most of my health problems got a lot worse because of the time we had no health care. I got through shingles without seeing a doctor and still have scars on my torso. We need to focus on our citizens and we all need to have the same health care that our congress critters have. Many people would have lost their lives if they had the health problem Cheney has. The co-pays and insurance caps would have made treatment almost impossible.

Every year I watch the co-pays increase. I would be terrified if I would be told I had to go in the hospital now.
