The United States spends more per capita than any other industrialized country.  Citizens in Sweden, for instance, spend a maximum of $9 per day for hospitalization, and yet the United States has a lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality rate.  Why are we spending so much, and spinning or wheels trying to improve our system?

 Many are arguing that the Constitution does not guarantee American citizens the right to universal health care.  So what!  Many things have changed since the Constitution was written, and what is most important now is that we work toward a system that ensures all of our country’s citizens are well taken care of.

 The crisis of the uninsured has become a plague sweeping across our country like locusts feeding on our crops.  For all of our differing opinions on what health care reform should consist of, we all seek the same ending – coverage and access to healthcare for everyone.

 You can make a difference just by contacting your Congressional representatives and voicing your opinion or telling them your personal story about how the uninsured (even if that means you) are affecting your life.
