How's Your Health???

Just back from the clergy meeting in Chi-town. Wow! The stories were heartbreaking and painful. No insurance and chronic health problems; sharing drugs with other people or just skipping meds altogether. Foregoing doctor visits, tests, self-medicating and on and on and on. I got angry listening. Angry that hard working people are going without basic care. Angry that some people see quality health care as a privilege for a few and not a basic for all. Even worse is the reaction of the community of faith. Where are the People of God?? Most of them seem to be organizing trivia nights and spaghetti suppers to help for some poor child's chemo treatments. What would happen if we all went to Wahington D.C. on June 24th?? Put it on your calendars....more to follow!
