Coming in at 20% is health care as the most important thing on American’s minds. I have spent the last eighteen years of my life working towards the goal of ensuring as many people as possible could have health care. After medical school I launched Midwest Medical Teams which originally had as its goal to send short term medical relief teams to help people get health care. Now called Charity Relief International its goal is to help coordinate health care dollars overseas to see that health care does not go the way it went in the U.S. in which it is all about money. We aim to work with heads of states of governments to provide advising as to where to apportion money and resources to be sure everyone has health care.
In the U.S. we work on legislation to see that all Americans have access to affordable, safe health care.
After medical school I became keenly aware the federal government has the ability with the stroke of a pen to help anyone and everyone in the U.S. and overseas. There are 193 countries in the world and the U.S. gives close to half the money to the World Food Bank each year. If that doesn’t make you proud to be an American probably nothing would.
Now if you are one of those people who thinks only seasoned individuals should be making such decisions consider this; here are a list of people who happened on the scene and made a difference in our world or country: Moses, Jesus, Joan of Arc, the Founding Fathers, George Washington (one of the Founding Fathers), Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandella, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, President Reagan and President Obama. The latter two were an actor among other things before becoming governor of California and a community organizer and professor. Bill Gates was a college student who launched a business with one of his professors. You may have heard of his company; he named it Microsoft. Moses grew up in the house of his people’s worst earthly enemy but went into self exile for many years in the desert where he did who knows what before becoming a deliverer of his people. Jesus was a carpenter from Nazareth and the son of Joseph and Mary.
