May 1st - May 8th is National Cover the Uninsured Week

Current Status
45 million uninsured Americans
8.4 million uninsured children
This directly affects the survivability of cancer patients. It is common knowledge that if cancer is detected early the survivability rates are much better. If 45 million people are uninsured, how are they going to receive proper care?
Background on the Issue in Oklahoma
701,000 people are uninsured in Oklahoma. That's 20.4% of the population. Learn more about the issue of the uninsured at covertheuninsuredweek.org.
I think the manner with which a nation treats it's poor and underprivileged is a direct reflection on that's nations character.
