ken...."AGREED - People have the PRIMARY responsibility but when they can't do it, Government should help."... So are you saying that those Americans who do have health insurance should be entitled to keep their own insurance and the government should be helpful to only those Americans who for whatever reason do not have or cant afford insurance,,,,and of course whatever the government does should not affect those Americans who do have insurance of their choice. Notice you said " help " not dictate.

Swine Flu Spreading Widely; Worry Over Pregnant Women By DONALD G. MCNEIL Jr. Published: October 1, 2009 Swine flu is now widespread across the entire country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday as federal health officials released Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began taking orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. Dr. Anne Schuchat, the disease control center’s director of immunization and respiratory disease, said there was “significant flu activity in virtually all states,” which, she added, was “quite unusual for this time of year.” Dr. Schuchat expressed particular worry about pregnant women. As of late August, 100 had been hospitalized in intensive care, and 28 had died since the beginning of the outbreak in April. “These are really upsetting numbers,” she said, urging obstetricians and midwives to advise patients to get swine flu shots as soon as they become available.

Also on Thursday, a 23-year-old recruit in basic training in Fort Jackson, S.C., was acknowledged Thursday to be the Army’s first swine flu death. The recruit, Specialist Christopher M. Hogg of Deltona, Fla., fell ill on Sept. 1 and died of pneumonia on Sept. 10, the military said. Although Specialist Hogg initially tested negative for swine flu, it was found on autopsy. About 50,000 troops a year train at Fort Jackson. (The camp was hit hard by the Spanish influenza in 1918, when up to 5 percent of the recruits died, according to a military historian quoted by The Associated Press.) Flu cases are rising in many parts of the country, according to local news media reports.
