As strange as it sounds, I agree with the Pope. In a Vatican conference yesterday Pope Benedict XVI emphasized that health care is a moral responsibility of all countries and nations should, "guarantee access to health care for all of their citizens, regardless of social and economic status or their ability to pay."
Meanwhile, the Republicans and Tea Partiers want to roll back the clock and deny coverage to millions. They scream and holler that we are sliding into socialism. Bulls**t!
The meager insurance reforms passed by Congress are far from Universal Coverage and that goal is something the Pope and I agree on. We must have coverage for every citizen if we are going to continue to be a serious player on the world stage.
