Health Care in the USA

Something on my mind today is why the United States can spend over 500 Billion dollars on a pointless war in Iraq and not have Health Care for all of the United States Citizens!!"This is very sad and unfortunate because my grandmother died because she could not afford her heart medication"Melissa J, Alaska"I broke both my legs in a car accident and was denied treatment at the ER because I didn't have insurance"Nancy W, Nebraska"My boyfriend was hurt in the mines and could not afford to see a doctor and he died 6 months later due to a serious infection"Janice S, Kentucky"I broke my arm, cracked a rib, and had to have numerous X-rays and tests so I sent my medical Bills to George Bush"Martin W, Virginia* These are just some of the stories I hear from friends and read about in the paper, on the internet and see on the news!!!How can a country as wealthy as the United States not afford to give its citizens Basic Health Care? From this day forward, I vow to become a Health Care advocate for each and every person in this nation! It turns my stomach that our President who has never ever had to want for anything has Health Care, while thousands of people in this country are dying because they can not afford to see a doctor, get their medicines, or just go have a simple blood test done!!Here are some of the countries that have basic health care for their citizens:Canada, Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, UK, Germany, France, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, etc... look at the map at the beginning of this blog to see...Why does the United States not want Universal Health Care for its citizens? Simple: Money... the pharmaceutical companies will lose money... it all boils down to money... well that is sad and I swear I am fighting for this until the day I die to make sure each and everyone of the US Citizens will have health care.I know many people either love him or hate him and I am talking about Michael Moore and he has a new film called Sicko. In this film he talks about how great the people in G. Bay in Cuba have better health care than most Americans do. Now come on, this is bullshit... Everyday I see people that can not afford their medicine, or go to see a doctor, or are denied an ER visit!!I think we all should send all our medical bills to G.W. Bush and tell him we want Medical Care in the USA... I mean, we just want basic care... I bet if little Barbara Bush got hurt, Bush would have her the best doctor money could buy... but if Nancy Doolittle a single mom of five with no income and her little daughter broke her leg she would have to suffer. I am telling you it's all about money, greed, and power...It's time the United States stepped up and fought for Health Care in America..so please vote for a candiate that supports Health Care whether you are Republican or Democrat or Independent remember one day you may be sitting in the ER and can not afford it and may be denied proper treatment!!Did you know that we the United States of America are #37 according to the World Health Organization for our Health Care!! Sad isn't it?? We are right behind Costa Rica... So who has the best Health Care?France, Italy, San Marino, Andorra, Malta and Singapore .. The World Health Organization's ranking Spain, Oman and Japan are in the top 10!!
