About That Facebook Meme

I, along with several million of my Facebook Phriends published this as our status message over the past 24 hours.

"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."

It is a way to both show support for the health care reform efforts currently underway and to reinforce the message that there are people in this country who do not share your circumstances and that assumptions about the level of health insurance coverage often ring false.

If you disagree with the message above it is easy enough to show that as well. Post to your Facebook status for a day. Let your message toll out for all the world to see. I'll even rewrite the meme so that you can play along. Just post this.

"It's too bad if someone should die because they cannot afford health care
but it would cost too much for me and I don't really know those people.
And if someone should go broke because they get sick, well they just need
to suck it up because they can't count on loyalty from their employer. I
just don't want to hear about them. If you agree, please post this as your
status for the rest of the day."

That should make you feel better.
