7.18.09  NY Times Report  ...In Arizona, only opposition from Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, prevented lawmakers in her own party from narrowing eligibility. And in California, where Democratic legislators and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, are struggling to close the country’s largest budget gap, the state on Friday imposed a freeze on new enrollments. California officials estimate that up to 350,000 eligible children may be relegated to a waiting list, and that attrition could lower enrollment by 250,000 by June. If money is not found, the losses there might overwhelm the cumulative gains in other states. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the potential for major reductions in California was “a huge concern.”

With foreign wars and military expenditures around a trillion dollars a year, why are we so financially strapped to deprive children their essential medical care? The question is obviously one of priority. Indeed, this is how we human beings answer practical questions. Reform prioritizing and you reform awkward results. And where does this self-reformation beings? Actually, self-reformation is none other than Self-building, the core of The Provocative Qur'an. I encourage you to browse it, reflect upon its instigation and make Self-building an integral part of yourSelf. If all of us become Self-reformers, we will make better choices and perhaps affordable healthcare will no longer be an elusive goal.
