Original message
My daughter just posted this message on her Facebook.
"No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day."

I copied and pasted and made it my message. What a great idea. I'll be watching to see how far it goes within my/our community of friends.

2. Would be a bit meaningless here in the UK on FB
but my thoughts are with you and your daughter.

6. Just revise it to "No one in the USA" so that it makes sense over there. :^)

14. The people that care about this are already on our side.
It's the ones that don't - that only care about the quality and cost of their own health care - that we still need to convince.

16. There are a bunch of "friends" on my FB who don't care. Maybe the message will help a little.

23. I've seen a few of my friends with that as their status. Another friend expanded it to this ...
No one should die, go blind, or be crippled because they can't afford health care. No one should go broke because they get sick. No one should be unable to change jobs because of a "pre-existing condition." If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.
