No more dead bloggers

Susie raises an interesting idea.

She's mourning the loss of her friend, Jim Capozzola of The Rittenhouse Review, whose death was hastened by his lack of health insurance. And it occured to her that, with so many progressive bloggers living hand to mouth, and some luckier ones living check to check, a nonprofit organization to assist bloggers in need would be a good idea. Perhaps liberal groups and the Democratic party could offer financial support to such a cause. After all, they benefit from all those hours that progressive bloggers spend bent over their keyboards.

For many progressive bloggers, health insurance is a dream, or a memory. But for everyone, it's absolutely essential. And until Congress grows a spine and says no to healthcare corporations' money, people with few or no pennies to spare have to be creative if they want to be able to see a doctor when they get sick.

Stop by Susie's site and offer your thoughts, ideas and whatever help you can provide. Thanks.
