6. er how about both? but the focus should be health care first and here's why
Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 05:28 PM by pitohui
food and fuel are a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars a month

when you're seriously ill or injured health care is a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars A DAY

that's why it's such a key issue, no honest person, no matter how hard they work, can protect themselves against a health care disaster unless they have great top notch health care insurance that actually pays their bills

we scrimp to pay food and fuel and sometimes we have to do without but it is at least somewhat possible for an honest person to get a job that pays for these items

this is why health care is the area of focus

it's something NO honest person can save up for and just take care of themselves, not if they have 3 jobs, not if they have 17 jobs, just not possible because the cost of care is so high
