We believe what we want to believe. Many people also believe that there are no hungry children in this country.If everyone had health insurance the stats would be better. There would still be the problem of "lifesyle" diseases from overweight, smoking, and lack of exercise.
It actually doesn't surprise me, though it saddens me, that people with health care don't think it is broken when millions are without it.
I have heard protesters on television say that "Health care is not a right," Well, I suppose that that is true. But with millions- hungry and uneducated, and sick without access to health care we are a nation of pampered, overweight, computer owning, flat screen TV owning, people who are "crossing to the other side of the street" rather than deal with the dreadful need of others.
What does surprise me is with so many middle class people losing their jobs they haven't come to fear for, and provide for, themselves.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
