Its with deep shame that I admit that on the 3rd day of my 365 day photo diary I forgot to bring my camera with me. I tried to take a photo with my phone, but with no way to transfer the photo from my phone to the computer, I will have to describe what I saw.

Tonight I went to a Health Care Forum discussion. The purpose of the discussion was to listen to everyone's ideas and do research across the country on whether or not the country is ready for health care reform. This research has been going on across the country for the past year. Let me describe what I saw:

-People of every color, background, and race
-Physicians, nurses, everyday citizens, the unemployed
-Immigrants from other countries
-A room filled with people determined to get their point across and passionate about changing health care in one way or another

People listened. People spoke up. Differences were raised. But in the end, as a group consensus, we agreed that health care is a human right and everyone should have access regardless of race, income, health status, or even immigration status. Health care is a right for all people.
