Some Things Never Change
"The Jaws of power are always opened to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing" (John Adams).

Life
In order to understand the healthcare debate, which we in the U.S. are fighting for, we must start at the beginning, what is healthcare trying to accomplish; preserve life.
Life; “The quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Life is a state of being alive and through out history we have found that people cherish life because they have always sought a way of ridding themselves from diseases or that which would cut life short. The value of something is determined by the cost someone is willing to pay for it and we spend billions of dollars a year on healthcare for the single reason of extending life. Why is it so important? Why do people want to hold on to it so desperately?
