  Very excellent point you've made Dee.

  Congress, both the senate and the house, have no shame. Do you think they have been unaware of the plight of the citizens for all these years? Do you think they have been truly
  unaware of the benefits in all the other industrialized nations for their citizens? They are
  greedy! They want campaign money to be reelected. That is all that is important to them.

  The Declaration of Human Rights in Article 25 states:

  * (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
  * (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

  To do what our nation does - to deny health care for ability to pay, no matter why the person may be unable to pay - means to violate human rights. Or does our nation not care about Article 25?
