Let's just move to "socialist" Canada


So I try not to be political when it's a non elections year, ha. But seriously 18-29 year olds are the most uninsured age group! So my young friends, why are you not supporting health insurance for your friends? It makes me so confused on that fact alone. I mean friends we really have the most to gain if the current system is fixed and the most to LOSE if it's not fixed. Know who else I don't understand? Fellow Christians who don't think every person doesn't deserves health care. I think you'd change your mind if the shoe was on the other foot. Jesus made time to help all the sick people, even the man lowered down from the roof...and we can't support every person being able to see doctors and get the medicine they need? Health care is a need not a want...should we deny water to every person who's work doesn't give them water? Sounds like a good idea! If you come to my house and don't have a job or one that is supplying you with water, you can have none of my water fool!

people are dying in America from the common cold because they can't go to the doctors. seriously? I mean here in the US we are the richest nation BUT our health care system is ranked 37th! yes 37th, the country with amazingly trained doctors and technology. yes. Ok, I should quite ranting... I just get angry, but that's what I get for watching Fox news and other shows, ha. There's a reason Hannity rhymes with insanity....
yes. I am just as much guilty of taking my own health insurance for granted I know and it is selfish of me. But change takes time even for me. No health care system is or will be perfect, but any improvement will help just a little.

All I can think of lately is when I was student teaching during the block and the teacher was doing a unit on Canada (and talking about their universal health care). A sixth grader asked the teacher why one of her mom's friend died because she couldn't afford the operation. Even a sixth grader sensed the injustice in the world relating to the health care divide. That's sad...from the mouth of babes...aye?
