Health Care

"Woe to Samaria!" "You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest lotions, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph." ; i.e. death by asphyxiation or asthma, a chronic disease (affliction) characterized by progressive calcification of the lungs. (Amos 6:6) Samaria gets rich treating such illnesses!

The Rochester Labor Council hosted The Maid at the Dryden Theater March 26. The film was produced in Chile, directed by Sebastian Silva. It looks at the plight of domestic workers through the starring character Racquel. Racquel has worked for the same family of university professors for 20 years as a maid, cook and nanny for their four children. The story is set in Santiago, Chile but could just as well have taken place in Los Angeles, Miami or Rochester.

Silva looks into the difficulty of life for domestic workers. They are often isolated from their families.

The city of Rochester, New York Rochester is the 11th worst city in the country in terms of child poverty and fact, Rochester’s Latino child poverty rate is the sixth highest in the nation. As is the case in many cities, poor families in Rochester have been adversely affected by increasing lay-offs and county budget cuts in the area of social services.

The Rochester Chapter of the Social Welfare Action Alliance in coalition with poor people, advocates, and human service workers, have joined together to operationalize a Reality Tour. This 3-hour event takes riders on a tour of blighted areas, a the abandoned subway, the welfare department on St. Paul, House of Mercy, St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center/Health Center, and a vacant lot next to the House of Mercy. The tour has also made other symbolic “tour stops” which emphasize where the community’s spending priorities seem to be (soccer stadiums, prison expansion, etc.).

ROCHESTER FOR HR 676:
A coalition of groups that believe health care is a human right, and advocate for “Expanded and Improved Medicare for All.”

Members of the Universal Health Care advocacy group Rochester for HR 676 met at the Cinema Theater Monday December 7 for a showing of Michael Moore's 2007 documentary Sicko followed by discussion. About 50 people attended. Despite the election of President Obama and Democrats to Congress, little has been done to address health care problems. There are several proposals in Congress but they range from too little too late to worse than nothing. One bill, originally introduced by Rep John Conyers (D-MI), HR 676 would simply extend Medicare to all Americans.
