Insurance companies thrive while poor die

The insurance companies are paying their CEOs huge bonuses with "blood money"--record-breaking earnings, garnered at the expense of the poor, the elderly, the sick, and the dying.

What have we come to as a nation? Greed seems to rule the Republicans in this nation, which was once a haven for those willing to work hard for a better life.

Now the "wing-nut" right-wingers are selling hatred, violence, and greed, using health care as an excuse to do and say unthinkable things.

People who are sick and dying can't work because they don't have health care. Health care has to be one of the building blocks for economic well-being. Jobs, health, and opportunity are interwoven.

Please, put a little human kindness before your aimless re-election desires.
