Swine Flu

So I think that the current epidemic of Swine Flu is a really great reason why the US Government should switch us all over to a universal health care plan. If we all had universal health care then the Government could make sure everyone that might possibly have/get swine flu could have access to adequate treatment. AND if we get a vaccine made for it, then it could be made mandatory to get vaccinated against it, or at least everyone would have access to it (assuming that there would be enough vaccine for everyone...which might not be true).

As it is, the most likely people to get Swine Flu probably don't have health care coverage. That's what I think, maybe I'm wrong, but we should still make the switch to universal health care :)

P.S. In any case, don't forget to wash your hands! You may even want to get OCD about it!

agreed!

the kids i work with were all worked up about the swine flu (they also just got back from mexico). they were so excited to wash their hands when they got home from school (a rarity!). One of them said to me "i sang the ABC song TWICE while washing them today".
