I want to see ALL sick people who can't afford health care taken care of, the young, the old, no matter what.

Is America going to be the country that kills a million innocents and makes huge profits while our poor and sick just die miserably? Or is America the nation that takes care of it's 'least among us'?

Are you afraid for yourself or your loved ones to get sick because you're so broke?

America can do better dammit.

5. I just want to know, if it's okay to ignore the poor, why isn't it okay to
attack the rich? The Republicans have been waging a class warfare against the poor for two decades now. So, why shouldn't we wage a class warfare against the rich? Maybe things will even out for everyone, in the wash.
