Please summarize Not long ago, a young Ohio woman named Trina Bachtel, who was having health
problems while pregnant, tried to get help at a local clinic.
Unfortunately, she had previously sought care at the same clinic while uninsured and
had a large unpaid balance. The clinic wouldn't see her again unless she paid $100
per visit which she didn't have.
Eventually, she sought care at a hospital 30 miles away. By then, however, it was too late. Both she and the baby died. You may think that this was an extreme
case, but stories like this are common in America.
Back in 2006, The Wall Street Journal told another such story: that of a young woman
named Monique White, who failed to get regular care for lupus because she lacked
insurance. Then, one night, "as skin lesions spread over her body and her stomach swelled, she couldn't sleep." The Journal's report goes on: "Mama, please help me! Please take me to the
E. R.,' she howled, according to her mother, Gail Deal. "O. K., let's go," Mrs. Deal recalls
saying. "No, I can't," the daughter replied. "I don't have insurance."
She was rushed to the hospital the next day after suffering a seizure and the hospital
spared no expense on her treatment. But it all came too late; she was dead a few
months later. How can such things happen? "I mean,
people have access to health care in America," President Bush once declared. "After all, you just go to an emergency room." Not quite. First of all, visits to the emergency room are no substitute for regular care, which
can identify and treat health problems before they get acute. And more than 40 percent of uninsured adults have no
regular source of care.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
