I am heartbroken about your friend and what he is going through.

And, yes, I believe that President Obama should have an "open knit night" at the White House, and I hope that he does not serve Budweiser for that event!

As for health care – it is broken, it needs to be fixed, no one should have to make a decision between health care and loosing ones home. I work in health care – we need to enlist a consensus of our neighbors in the world on how they are making it work in their countries!

Thanks for opening up the topic for thoughtful discussion!
