This struck me as worth blogging. In fact, this really sheds light on a cultural / social issue that is crucial. Yesterday I had the tv news on. I heard our President, that's right, yours and mine, make this statement. Here is the quote:
OBAMA: "Knowing you can offer your family the security of health care, that's priceless. Now, you can do it for the cost of your cable bill, probably less than your cellphone bill. Think about that, good health insurance for the price of your cellphone bill or less." – Speech in Largo, Md., on Thursday.
Think about it. Americans now have the mindset that cell phones and cable tv rank the same on the importance scale as healthcare. That sounds like no big deal, unless you understand that for me, my cell phone and my cable tv are not even in the same world as my cancer.
(Oh, and by the way, like a majority of words that come from political talking heads, the part of this quote about cost isn't entirely true either.)
Lord help us. God bless America.
