Fuming at Freedom

America has just traversed a huge chasm with respect to the health care freedom of its citizens. Arguably a civil right, and clearly an inalienable right and part of first world human rights, America was holding out on this issue until Sunday evening. The new laws are not nearly as good as many would have liked, but it has undeniably extended something originally promised in founding documents, to most all of its citizens: the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.



Being sick in America remains a sentence to poverty, stress and insecurity. These problems are not understood by citizens disconnected from the perspectives, but in time I am confident even the most certain of health care deniers will come around.
