Healthcare meme
Sep. 6th, 2009 09:27 am"No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick."
(Things are a bit more complicated than that - there will always be deaths can be postponed only at vast expense, and finite resources. But I agree with the basic principle that some reasonable level of healthcare should be available to everyone.)
[EDIT: On the other hand I'm not overkeen on memes that imply that failing to copy something means you don't support the views expressed, and I don't expect doing so here to change anyone's mind about the level of popular support for whatever it is.]
