Health Care, another Conscience Call.

Another day and the chance to answer another Conscience Call.

At this moment America is in the grasp of historic change. The unanswered question is will there be Health Reform or Health Care for more Americans? Or, will we go into the future fumbling along in a mire of inadequate care and intolerable expense?

Even though for many many years, reform of our delivery of health care has been desired, it has not yet happened. The USA is one of the most powerful of all developed nations, but it is the only one that does not take medical care of all it's people. Just as our President works to fulfill his pledge to correct this unfairness, the two leaders of the Republican party pledge to defeat him. One wonders why this rigid resistance has risen! Let us presume these two gentlemen are acting out of honest conviction, rather than a determined thrust for political power .

For their sakes I hope the bill goes through to bring help to so many despairing families who need medical care. It will help the Republican Party to appear more humane and caring, but even more important, since every human being has to answer for his actions, not only to history but to a call of conscience it will be better not to be pronounced guilty by a saddened world.

So this is a call to every American to live up to the traditions of loyalty and fairness for which we are famous, and not let everybody down by an exercise of petty politics.
