Bloggers Unite for Human Rights & Illustration Friday – Electricity

Health care is a right not a privilege!! Â It is unconscionable that the United States does not have health care for everyone. Â Every other developed country has health care for all citizens. It used to be that South Africa and the US didn’t, but now it is only the US that doesn’t. Â Clearly people need to come together in government to make this happen! Â Too many people die every day and too many more families have all their savings and finances wiped out by paying for medical bills. Â People who are rich will still be able to buy extra health care, but we all need good health care. Â I would easily settle (ha, ha) for the kind of lifetime health coverage all our Congress people get. Health Care for ALL!!!
Illustration Friday has a challenge every week. This week is Electricity.

Diane,
In The Netherlands we just stopped having National Health Care and all insurance has now become privatized. There are now people who are uninsured. it is a major crime that we have to thank this government for. Just think how good our system used to be, it was an example to the rest of the world. We now pay three times the insurance fee for less coverage.

Love this bubblescape, it is well, electrifying
I couldn’t agree more with health care being a basic human right. Now it is big business and the middle class holds it all up. We got caught in the no health care dilemma when DH was furloughed from his job after being on workman’s comp for over 6 months. Our Cobra premiums are $936 a month. I, like you, have an expensive health condition (aren’t they all?) and must have coverage. I thank God that we can make these payments and also grateful that he has been released from WC and back to work at a new job. His insurance kicks in in July. Yea!
