Dear friends,
What would your reaction be if you knew that our nation's priorities directly led to the preventable deaths of nearly 45,000 Americans? I am outraged, and invite you to log onto www.peoplesvisionusa.com to find out why. Peace, Bill J.

Mike mother is a friend of mine, and for the last two years she has struggled through the pain and anguish of watching her son die. For me, Mike’s death put flesh and blood on a health care debate that has focused primarily on money and governing philosophy, and too little on people in crisis. This country’s health care policy is killing people and we need to immediately enact universal, accessable, affordable health care as a moral human right. If we don’t,  thousands more will follow Mike to the grave. This was made clear in a study published on September 17 by researchers at the Harvard Medical School. They concluded that 44,789 Americans died last year because they didn’t have health care, a number of deaths that exceeds other common killers such as kidney disease.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F7A55C4E-742F-402C-A42B-54993706E1F4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
