ARE YOU YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER?
WHEN PEOPLE SEE YOUR STORY, WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO SEE?
"A working man that never gave up, and now... he fought all of his life. Now he still keeps on fighting for his life with hope and faith."

Do you think everyone in our society should have equal access to limited health care resources? Should the better off be taxed at much higher rates to pay for treatment for the poor? As Karl Marx said, "Each according to his ability, each according to his need." Do you agree? Are we our brother's keeper? Should the State be the vehicle by which we equalize wealth? Or do you prefer a more individual approach? To take care of yourself and your family first?
Do you support universal health care such as seen in Canada, Great Britain, and France? What do you think of the health care reform measures put forth by Governor Schwarzenegger or the Democratic candidates for president? Do you think our current system should remain as is, with only small adjustments at the margins?

"If you open the Scripture to anywhere you want, you will find that the poor are the blessed of God -- the poor are the preferred. The Lord blesses the nation that takes care of His poor."
