If you have always had the privilege of health insurance, you may not fully understand the serious need for health care reform and the improved accessiblity to care and coverage that it will provide to millions of Americans. But a series by Illinois Health Matters may help make the dire need for reform more clear to those who haven't had to battle for care and coverage due to pre-exisiting conditions, part-time work, job loss, or self employment.
The story of Garfield Park resident Henry Edwards illustrates how childhood illnesses can continue to plague the lives of an adult in more ways than one. His story also exhibits the need for improved communications and outreach to communities about the services that will be available via the upcoming changes to the health care system:
Illinois Health Matters, along with Jay Dunn, also produced a video on one local politican who is working to improve outreach, attitudes, and the overall health of those in his South Side district and other Illinoisans. Here's more on State Sen. Donne E. Trotter's (D-17) views on health care reform policy and his work in the community focusing on major health issues like obesity and the improper use of emergency rooms:

90 % of the wealth in United States is held by 10% or even less, 5% of the population in the United States. This is what cause all these financial turmoil. leaving only 5 % or 10 % of the wealth for the rest of the United States. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this is just plain stupidity. How is our country going to function like that?
The health insurance can keep increasing their cost. It is not going to go anywhere. Pretty soon, no one but the top 5 or 10 % of the population will be able to afford health care. The rest of us…. well lets just say we are just leave to die ( so to speak, we all die eventually anyways right? ) Just that most of us will work like there is no tomorrow just to earn some food, and then denied health care. While very few of us don’t have to work hard and still get abundance of riches that they don’t need in the first place, and get top notch health care.

The United States will become a country of unequal rights where only the wealthy gets everything while the rest gets next to nothing for what we pay with our blood and hands.
