Common Ground?
Question: What does the disapperance of state-supported cancer care in Nevada have in common with the fight for the removal of the food tax here in Alabama?
Answer: A shared struggle for folks in the middle class to survive despite the odds.
Watching “60 Minutes” tonight, we ran across this report on a growing crisis in Nevada’s healthcare system. While there is no obvious connection to our food tax fight, we were reminded of the theme that run’s central to this struggle: a fair shot for the working poor, folks living in the crack – too poor to thrive in a system designed for the rich…too rich to qualify for life-saving support services reserved for the poor.
