What a leader does

Last night President Obama called on congress and the senate to pass a bill that would help all Americans lead more healthy lives. That's really what it's all about. Giving Americans the opportunity to be secure in the area of healthcare. Too many people go without medical care for fear of losing their savings, choosing between a doctor's visit and food, having surgery or losing their home. What kind of system is that?!

We are supposed to be the wealthiest country in the world, yet...people go bankrupt because of healthcare costs...huh?! As a nation, shouldn't we be able to make sure that everyone has health insurance.

If we have enough money to start wars and "rebuild" other countries - why don't we have enough to take care of our own citizens when it comes to their health.

It's time! And the President made an excellent case for it in his speech last night.
