Healthy Artists

High five to everyone who voted and congratulations to President Obama for his victory!

We are glad Obama got around to mentioning health care in his election night speech:

“And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care…I’ve never been more hopeful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope.”

Let’s not only sustain hope, but use some post-election momentum to keep the United States health care system moving forward! We’ve still got a lot of catching up to do. Here’s a comparison of our system v. the rest of the industrialized world, assembled by our very own, Weenta Girmay.
