A “news brief” stated political candidates surpassed $4 billion in campaign spending for the 2006 midterms. Is anyone in favor of these sums being spent on mostly negative ads? My local nonprofit community hospital struggles financially under the burden of huge numbers of uninsured patients. It even considered selling out to a for profit chain.
In 2004 hospital uncompensated care totaled $26 billion dollars. Exxon will make well more than that this fiscal year. Where are America’s priorities? It appears the U.S. no longer wants the world’s poor, the downtrodden, the marginalized as we can make them right here at home.
