Into each life some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary.
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Coping with problems and weathering troubled times - is part of life. Those of us who have survived painful experiences have a duty to help younger ones prepare to face bad times by sharing the solutions we found.
When stormy weather comes, we need to feel we are like other people. It's not that misery loves company, but that we don't want to feel we're in this alone.
We will never have perfect living conditions. The only place where every day is a sunny one is in the desert. When pain comes, we can walk through our problems and settle things quickly, rather than prolonging the hurt by battling our way around the obstacles in an effort to avoid them.
What problem can I confront and eliminate today?

THE PRESIDENT: "I want to cover everybody. Now, the truth is that unless you have a what's called a single-payer system in which everybody is automatically covered, then you're probably not going to reach every single individual, because there's always going to be somebody out there who thinks they're indestructible and doesn't want to get health care, doesn't bother getting health care, and then unfortunately when they get hit by a bus end up in the emergency room and the rest of us have to pay for it."
That Person is
- since 1986 till now.

The biggest untold story in politics is the movement you're building. The rallies, phone banks, door-to-door canvasses, and town hall meetings you're organizing around the country -- and the movement they represent -- are the reason the defenders of the status quo can't stop change this time around. In just three short months, more than 1 million people have taken part in our campaign for health insurance reform. But the stories behind that number are even more amazing.
