Universal Health Care
Universal Health Care - it’s time to do something about
it. As I wrote in my recent blog: “Health
Insurance. It should be an issue of
basic humanity.” I said I’m usually
not very political and that is true. But
in this instance, I can’t sit still while my friend, my family and so many
people are without insurance and without health care. This is an issue that affects every person,
I’ve come to the conclusion that not only MUST I become involved but I must
encourage everyone to become involved.
Below are some things you can do to help change the United States for
the better, encourage health care reform and get health care for all Americans
who need care.

Go to this link and send the prewritten letter to Obama. This one
doesn’t ask you to send the letter to your friends and doesn’t ask you to
give them money to support the cause after sending the letter. I’ve
done this and have not received any emails flooding my inbox.
