Reading the news at CNN

One of the things to do when visiting Atlanta is to go on a tour of the CNN centre. I was there on the day that all the action was in Washington, when they were debating President Obama's Healthcare bill, which later in the evening, was passed by The House of Representatives. An historic day for the country, remains to be seen how it all works out.

Although USA is the richest and most powerful country in the world, there is too much poverty, poverty which is very evident in the city centres. Many Americans proclaim themselves to be religious, Christina, Muslim or Jewish or Hindu and so on and I wonder how they can be comfortable living in a country where poor people are so much denied access to medical care and why there is so much opposition to a move by the recently elected President to provide this.
