DEUTSCH

While not a perfect solution to all of the flaws of the American health care &#8220;system,&#8221; this bill goes further to provide all Americans with health insurance coverage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Word is going around that the Rev. Dr. Forrest Church passed away tonight, and I am sad.  He gave his whole self to the service of Unitarian Universalism and left us with many gifts, not the least of which is this beautiful sermon, The Cathedral of the World, from June of 2001:

		<description><![CDATA[I would love if the whole health &#8220;care&#8221; debate were actually about health care, but instead, it&#8217;s about health insurance.  The story I&#8217;m about to tell/rant is not one of denied treatment for chemotherapy or organ transplant, nothing like that.  It&#8217;s about the daily experience of seeking treatment for a medical condition, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This question has been asked on both sides: "If you believe in God, why do you go to the Unitarian Universalist church when there are so many other places you could go?  And, "If you don't believe in God, why do you go to church at all, much less a Unitarian Universalist church?"]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will be the first to admit that the current health care bill under consideration, H.R. 3200, is flawed.  Any bill over a thousand pages is.
But let&#8217;s argue over what it actually says, not about crap opponents of any health care reform dream up to scare people.
