NATIONAL DISGRACE: US Health Care System Kills and Bankrupts

Hardball with Chris Matthews. August 8, 2007.

Retired and disabled AFL-CIO union member, Steve Skvara, presented a question at the Democratic presidential debate in Chicago on the previous day.

Any American could fall into a dire situation similar to Steve with nowhere to turn for what truely must be considered the most basic of human rights -- health care. We are the only free industrialized nation in the world that has been conditioned to think of health care as only a "benefit". This MUST change!
