On a case by case basis

   While I understand the gravity and seriousness of the situation with Terry Schiavo, I don't think it needs to be a national issue. I don't understand why Congress created an Act for this one person when cases like this must happen more than once in our country. Why do they not act when someone has been sentenced to death if they care so much about the sanctity of life? And why is it that they seem to care only when a person is near death or not yet born? Many Americans are lacking adequate health care, yet Congress has focused on the health care of one individual. Perhaps if they would show the same commitment and tenacity to universal health care we'd get something done.
   So if the Congress is going to address the people's issues one by one, I'd like to mention that I'd like someone to get health care for my sister that won't bankrupt her. (Because if she went bankrupt she'd have little recourse now with the new bankruptcy law). I have a friend who has a drug problem, and since programs are being cut I think he should receive special consideration. Oh, and I'd like to be able to get married so that I can be equally protected under the law, but there's a bunch of people who single me out for discrimination. And if you take that case there's about 3 million more people who would like to speak with you... Anyone else have requests for big brother?
