USA! USA! USA!

Why aren't people talking about the fact that maternal mortality in the U.S. has doubled in the past 25 years -- and that among 50 nations, the U.S. has the WORST rate of women dying in connection with pregnancy and childbirth?!

I guess I didn't know that. Seems strange, doesn't it? But then, our child mortality rate is very high, relative to other countries.

And what about growing poverty among women and children? Only Romania has a worse rate of child poverty in the developed world!

[...]

Even under Obamacare, which is essentially the same as Romneycare, there will be 30 million people in the U.S. without essential healthcare by 2022. Romney/Obamacare are sell-outs to the for-profit insurance industry. We're the only nation in the developed world where everyone is not covered by healthcare -- and the only nation where people take out bankruptcy because of medical bills.

We're Number One!

Want more of the same? Vote Democratic or Republican. If you want change, you might not support a winner in this election, but your vote will speak loudly and make a difference.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
