55. That would be a wonderful Letter to the Editor.
Write it and send it in...People should know about this, Good Health is a basic human right. Should not have any person denied life-saving procedures just because they are unable to pay...Its a mountain to climb, The law in Texas, signed by the "compassionate Conservative" then acting Governor G.W. Bush, that allows a hospital to remove life support of people that are not able to pay. That denies the RIGHT TO LIFE! It doesn't get anymore basic than that! We have a long uphil road to travel to success.

In this country there should be health care for each and every citizen. If by achieving this goal is to take the step with Senator Kerry's proposed bill, to insure every child, to start in that direction, then I back it.

There were two reasons we donated for Andy...One, so he could have the best chance at life! Two, to somehow make this case known, that there should never have to be these kind of situations, A poor person in this country would have to resign themselves to death, because they can not pay for Life...what kind of choice is that?
