Health Care First!

     There is a third world population systematically being fostered within our country with  a large number of people  denied basic protection and  health care. Most other democratic  industrialized nations  provide this to  their citizens.
   America, the richest nation in the world, now has million 46 million uninsured citizens and the numbers are increasing each year. . Recently the actual count of uninisured was projected at  86 million if it included  those who had high deductibles who could not come up with $5000 or more before they were given help by their insurance companies..    
   This is  not only sad and unfair, but demoralizing, leaving a large group of  citizens less secure and worrying about what could happen if they had a  sudden health crisis.
   This pervasive problems has  added to  hopelessness and generally poor mental attitude in the country causing people to lose their jobs when employers can not afford to increase wages because they need to  pay for health insurance.  The  auto industry and other businesses  can not be stay competitive with other countries where health care is provided by the government.. We need health care bad and need it NOW!
