Keeping it simple

I've been wanting to blog about health care for a long time, but the complexity of the issue has been daunting.

So much hangs in the balance. So many people could be helped by health care reform. But the opposition is turning it into a bitter political fight. They aren't seeing the big picture.

Finally, today on Facebook, someone posted this simple little status that boiled the issue down to the essentials:

"Let me put it this way: There are few things I feel this strongly about. No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day."

'Nuff said ... for now.
