BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO






Last night the House of representatives approved a revised Obama’s proposal for a new heath system. Finally, 96% of the Americans will have the possibility of having health care and the private lobbies will have real competition.

Sadly enough however, bigotry still prevailed and millions of American women will be deprived the right to decide about their own body or to have costly and/or illegal abortions. This is not freedom: freedom is choice. Nobody will force women who do not want it, to abort. But women who want or need, will not have such choice.

The fight is not over and Obama will face strong opposition in the Senate. Let us hope that he will prevail again. Health is a too serious matter to be left to profit making capitalists.

Bravo Obama, bravissimo.
