Washington – Lack of adequate health care may have contributed to the deaths of some 17,000 US children over the past two decades, according to a study released by the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. [Link]
The children of America need the public option. The poor and disenfranchised need the public option. The marginalized working class need it, the wealthy need it, the corporations need it. Even the insurance lobby needs it, though they’re too greedy to know – to myopic to see – that they need it.
Obviously, the capitalists and their paid-off legislators are too indifferent too the needs of the people and the good of the country to see that we get it, but we need it.
“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference.And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.”– Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize 1986
