14. You don't have to look to third world countries for people dying
needlessly. 45 million uninsured are just that: uninsured. If they have no money or equity in a house, what are the chances they will receive something such as a life saving liver transplant? Or chemo? Or even the tests to discover what might be wrong with them? And, of course, we also have plenty of hungry Americans. Maybe if our own needy could be used for political gain - like Bush and Congress attempted (mistakenly) to use Schiavo - something might be done. Otherwise, we die prematurely in this "culture of life" society.
