Did you know?
One fourth of the Iraq war budget alone could fund healthcare for every uninsured person in this country.
Think what the trillions of dollars wasted on war,
occupation and destruction could do for the people:
• Provide free medicine for all of our seniors and chronically ill.
• Change the dismal statistics of infant mortality in major cities like Detroit, Baltimore and Washington D.C. where the mortality rates for African American and poor children rival impoverished countries abroad;
• Provide adequate healthcare and counseling for veterans wounded and traumatized by Bush's war in Iraq;
• Stop the epidemic of hospital closings;
• It could provide healthcare and treatment for the physical and psychological trauma that the survivors of Katrina and Rita are still suffering from;
• Make healthcare for low wage workers and immigrant families a priority. |
