While I don't agree with most of the tenets of socialism, I gotta say that I'm for *some* kind of national health care. Being one of the "uninsurable" Americans, it would be more than nice to have my health care needs covered. Especially ironic, since my career was devoted to caring for others in nursing. So, here's a reflection for those opposed to National Health Care:

If 1 million Americans fell down dead in the forest for lack of health care and prescription coverage, would you hear them fall?

As a gift for your birthday, Mr. President, I have joined ranks with Michael Moore and his "Sicko" supporters in saying that on this one ... you've got my vote.

Have a happy birthday, Barack. Enjoy the little victories because they can lead to the bigger ones. Remember God in all that you do and don't forget us little people when you collect your paychecks. Peace out.
