We Cannot Afford to Wait -- Too Many People are Dying

According to recent reliable studies, more Americans died from congressional inaction on health care than died during those years as a result of the first Gulf War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan war, the 9/11 attacks, Hurrican Katrina and all of the nation's homicides-- combined.

And it does not have to be!!!
This can be changed -- NOW!

All people should have adequate health care. Period!!!
Especially the poor and the weak.

Interesting comment from Steven Waldman on Beliefnet:
Since health care reform was defeated in 1994, about as many Americans have died from lack of insurance as died in battle during all of the wars in American history (including the Civil War and World War II) -- combined.
