ALL RIGHT, YOU! YES, I MEAN YOU! I want every single person who can see this to stop and read

I want every single person who can read this to go to this link: http://ani-bester.livejournal.com/1018334.html - and read it thoroughly. And then I want you to get out your plastic and give it a good bleeding. There is a person out there who is in dire need of help. Help her.

A SPECIAL WORD TO MY CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS: You will see that this person has enjoyed the wonderful advantages of that health system that my Republican friends are so keen to defend against my criticisms. Well, one argument I heard often is that Americans don't need national health cover because they give so much more privately to charity than any other nation. Well, if that is the case, prove it now. This woman is in need of American charity - or any other charity worth the name - so let's see you put your Paypal account where your mouth is.

Sent a few bob - God knows, the Irish national health system is shaky and badly over-budget and undergoing yet another bureaucratic re-organisation which will add more layers of management and not improve efficiency, but in a First World nation, no-one should have to choose between their health (and life) or their accommodation.
