Re: American Healthcare

My cousin, who lives in Texas in a town called Georgetown just north of the state capital Austin. She has been telling me how the churches in her community have set up a medical clinic, staffed by retired doctors and nurses to provide some healthcare to the many extremely low paid working people and their families who live in their county.
Her opinion of Bush is that if he used the wealth of the US correctly he could elevate both the poverty in the US and worldwide.
It is very difficult to even begin to envisage what life must be like if you can't afford health insurance for yourself and your family and having to rely on the charity of voluntary organisations if you need healthcare urgently. We really are so fortunate in the UK that our health care is free at the point of service.
