Everyone deserves the same degree and quality of health
care that Representative Giffords is getting. No more and no less.

THAT needs to be our rallying cry.

1. I'd replace "deserves" with "has a right to"

2. Yes. I don't renege her getting the best care
available and as a taxpayer, I'm more than happy that she is getting it. However, everyone deserves the same care regardless of their circumstances. We can't rest until that happens.

3. Deserves, yes... Has a right to... no
Our rights are defined by the Constitution. We do have rights not mentioned in the Constitution, but there has been no real attempt to show that health care is a right. She has access to health care that anyone with her salary would have access to. Sadly, that is the state of health care.

I would support an amendment to the Constitution, but that will not happen in this nation.
