Yes, Rep. Tim Walz voted for health care legislation. I am proud of him for having the morality to do the right thing.
I believe that it is immoral to grow rich on the backs of the sick. The average health insurance CEO makes millions a year. American health insurance costs twice as much per capita as that of the typical modern country. Yet we leave out 40 million people.
I have a nephew who reported the following to me: He was working on the ambulance crew of a county-owned ambulance program. He was told, “The important thing is to save lives.” Then the service was sold to a private company. He was told, “The important thing is to make money.”
Think about it and apply the logic to our entire health insurance industry.

Recent opinion polls show that less than one-third of Americans have a favorable opinion of Mitt Romney, and almost half, 49 percent, have an unfavorable opinion — a number that skyrocketed 15 percentage points in one month, according to a January ABC News/Washington Post poll.
