Join Healthcare for the 99% for a Day of Action Against Budget Cuts!
Governor Cuomo appointed Wall Street banker Stephen Berger to fix healthcare in Brooklyn. Berger recommended merging and downsizing Wyckoff and other Brooklyn hospitals that provide necessary healthcare in low-income and medically underserved communities.
Join us to speak out against hospital closings, service reductions, and budget cuts!

Awesome.
We should also aim at getting health care to everyone in the world and not just Europe and the US.
And who cares about the history of helping the poor not working, they're still people!

If healthcare is a right, whom has the obligation? Or is this just another thing leftists and children think just pops out of the sky?
Rights are what the government lets you figure out for yourself, not what it agrees to take from someone else on your behalf.
Maybe we need to establish 8th grade civics as a "human right".
