Regardless of what one thinks it is time something is done to provide care for all Americans. My 47 year old cousin passed away last week because of a lack of health care. She and her husband had lost there jobs due to the recession and when she noticed she was ill she hid it from everyone until the infection had killed her kidneys and liver. She didn't want to burden her husband with more problems. No he and her son have to make their way without her. Somehow there has to be a better way.

What a great show. I had no idea Ms. Smith was so prolific. She's a talent. And heaven knows there's plenty of material in healthcare. Very cool!
