QotD
From the
Quotation of the day mailing list, 2009-10-03:
"I can tell you firsthand: even the most privileged among us
are within a millimeter of losing everything to an unexpected
illness. I was lucky enough to escape the clutches of what was
then considered to be an incurable disease. I had my life. But I
was left with nothing else. So, I'm puzzled, and amazed, and
dismayed, by those who want health care reform legislation to be
anything other than the most comprehensive and powerful it can
possibly be." -- Evan Handler, in "Have You No Decency, Sir?
At Long Last, Have You No Sense of Decency?".
