3000 vs. 18000 (per YEAR!): What's wrong with this picture?
Advertisements [?]
WHY?
Can someone tell me WHY those 3000 innocent victims of the 9/11 attacks are SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
than the 18000 PER YEAR who die because they can't afford health care, or are denied health care
for pre-existing conditions, or who die DESPITE having insurance when insurers water down their
coverage because keeping them alive would just not be cost-efficient?

Seriously; what's the difference?

Isn't this as REAL a danger to democracy?

Is it because the KILLERS are high-paid executives in expensive suits?

Is it because diseases are from GOD or something?

18000 PER YEAR... and counting.

But let's NOT help THEM... filling a fireman's boot with cash for THAT would be Communism.

Not to mention how it would wreck the economy.
