1993, the number of people without insurance has grown from 39.7 million to 47 million and insurance premiums have nearly doubled. The cost of failure 14 years ago isn't anybody's scars or political fortune, it's the millions of Americans who have now gone without health care for more than 14 years and the millions more still crushed by the costs. Millions of Americans live without health care every day. Its time for Washington to understand that health care reform isn't a political issue - its a moral issue. http://johnedwards.com/action/contribute/mygrassroots/?page_id=Mjg1NjM
