Yesterday a message started going viral on facebook and twitter. This was the message:
No one should die because they cannot afford healthcare. No one should go broke because they get sick, and no one should be tied to a job because of pre-existing condition. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.
Today, Jonathan Singer at MyDD reports that according to Facebook, 880,000 people posted that message yesterday. I’ll admit to being one of the 880,000 as were several other DLers I know on Facebook. I even got a like from one of my conservative friends.
Every time I start to feel really despairing of humanity, something comes along to make me feel better.
