You said that so well about the government not being responsible for one but for the other. You spoke for me and I agree with your reasoning..The health care of it's citizens is the responsibility of responsible government.

Sad segment on 60 Minutes. A team of Doctors,Dentists,Othomologists come by plane to an armory in
rural Virginia. For two days doctors, nurses,volunteers work for free helping thousands of people who have lined up and admitted by a number chosen ahead of time to have work done in the areas of health.

A girl who had cervical cancer never had a check up. Two years has passed. Her pap smear is negative but the find something in the breast..

People who have children who have never been to a Doctor..

People who have bad teeth that have needed attention..

They work two solid days and those that don't get in sadly get turned away.

People come 200 miles with family and sleep in their cars..

If all of us had viewed that program I think that collectively our hearts would have gone out to say, yes the government needs to provide health care to all of it's citizens...
