The Price of Health

OK, I'll admit it I am an LZ Granderson groupie the man has a way with words and most likely hits a nerve every once in a while! His latest commentary "Don’t Repeal Americans’ Health Care Lifeline", discusses the collation between being poor/middle classes and health care bills that can destroy a person's financial expenses. Trust I know from experience of attempting to keep a child healthy by paying doctors bills and medicine to keep them alive. While still keeping a roof, food, cloths and paying after school to watch your children till you get out of work at five. Yes, it is a balancing act and it seems the GOP either doesn’t understand or really doesn’t care as LZ stated: "they have a nice health care plan well we all deserve the same". What part of an American health care system is not understandable for the voting population? “No country can be strong whose people are poor and sick.”- Former President Theodore Roosevelt stated. We all need to keep in mind before we enter into that voting booth in 2012 that a healthy person helps to make a stronger U.S. better yet please, don’t fall to a serious illness it may be a life changer to you and your finances.
