Ho hum. Ho hum. Ho hum.
It's a startling statistic. A study shows that 45,000 Americans die every year. Because they don't have health insurance. And don't seek medical care. What may be even more startling is that we Americans don't seem startled by the needless loss of life. Ho hum. Just another statistic. And we keep on going as the only industrialized nation in the world without universal health care. But I tell you what really arouses us. The terrorist attack on New York in 2001. Killing 3,000 innocents. We're willing to go to war over that. But as for those 45,000 Americans dying because of lack of health care. Ho hum. Ho hum. Ho hum. --Jim Broede

We Americans like drama. Seeing planes crash into the World Trade Center in New York. That's more dramatic and memorable and despotic than 45,000 Americans dying because they lack health care. --Jim
