A new age of Reformation

Your Health is Your Wealth…
Former Senate President Jerry Hughes said it often.
Representative John Salazar said it best, with his vote…

I am a melanoma survivor, and I embrace each day now with a clear understanding of the dark abyss of disease and illness from which my medical team saved me. Cancer and chemo therapy are a terrifying storm of confusion, uncertainty and struggle, but with the proper medical solution, there is also hope. I can not imagine being as ill as I was without any hope of aid. I can not imagine resigning myself to the role of victim rather than survivor, because I did not have enough money to get treatment. I can not imagine standing by helplessly while someone I love slowly dies from a manageable disease. I can not imagine a nation of vision and integrity succumbing to the preferences of financial gain over humanitarian goals. If you have never been to the emergency ward of a major hospital facility, go to one. Go to one and witness our health care system first hand; people lying on chairs receiving intravenous, lying on the floor for lack of a chair, vomiting into waste paper baskets … and then imagine something different… health care for every person, hope and dignity in every case.
