We’ve headed into Nebraska where I was interviewed by the Ogallalla newspaper. (I practiced pronouncing the name more than a few times before we got to the town, so I didn’t lose any votes.) During the interview, I told the publisher that we would push for a National Health Care System — like they have in Candada, Denmark, New Zealand… — so there would be equitable health care for all. Sound spiritual principle would beg for that, we believe — especially with 46 million Americans who have no health care at all right now. In tandem, I told the publisher, we would also push for more: Marillac Clinics. Several years ago, we researched the Marillac Clinic in Grand Junction, Colorado. Doctors, nurses, community members who do intake, clerical, janitorial… work, all volunteer time at the clinic so those without health insurance in Grand Junction have a place to go. I told the publisher if you could get these types of clinics going in many towns in America, it would defray some of the additional tax it would take to subsidize a National Health Care System.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
