This is what I want to use for the Voicethread. Say that it gives a good sense of the passions on both sides of the debate. Also talks about socialism. As them what side the Church is on here and what someone representing the Catholic view would say to some of the other protestors. Say to use the other video "Sick in America" as background to viewing this one. In class, perhaps do the thing with the eligibility for Medicaid Passions can be helpful, but they can also blind us.

The % of Americans who will live beyond age 65 is higher in Costa Rica than in the U.S.: http://www.aacu.org/liberaleducation/le-fa07/le_fa07_Bonner.cfm

Columnist Charles Krauthammer thinks it’s absurd to go about reducing the deficit by adding $540 billion in new spending while increasing taxes by $770 billion.
