Health Care Issue Comes Back

I read on the front page  of The Christian Science Monitor ( May 18 ) :

    " Growing frustration with health care puts it back in center of political

    arena ." A newspaper publisher here in Rhode Island - a mentally depressed

    man - said recently in a suicide note that our mental health system had

    let him down. Assuming he was at least fairly well off, what chance do

    the do the poor and the working class have of getting adequate care for

    mental depression ?

         Living with my mentally ill brother, who is lithium dependent, I

    can better understand the now dead and buried , young newspaper publisher's

    long suffering grief.

          I can say a lot more but time and space are limited. Is our

    humanity also limited ?
