Woke up this morning and see that the people's House has passed some health care improvements. Yippee! Our baby can stay on our health care till he turns 27!
I am glad that some small progress has been made towards having the USA join the rest of the industrialized world in the provision of health care. I am ever hopeful that our infant mortality rate will slowly creep downward. Right now we rank between Faroe Islands and Guam, at 6.26 deaths per live births. Perhaps in a few years we'll be closer to France, at 3.33. I guess it's too much to hope that we can match or exceed Singapore at 2.31.
Truly it's a great day and yet we must keep on hammering away at the odd notion of health care as a profit center before we get to health care as a basic right. Hang on, we'll get there eventually.
