Is Georgia is a third world country? Georgia's women (in the US, not Soviet Georgia) are among the unhealthiest in the nation: uneducated, uninsured, more likely to have preventable diseases and more likely to die at younger ages. Our babies are more likely to be premature or die from preventable causes than almost any other industrialized nation.

Women need health care RIGHT NOW!
I had a woman walk into the clinic a few minutes ago who has not had a Pap smear in > 5 years because of no insurance. Her daughter is insulin dependent diabetic- out of insulin and DFCS told her that she-the18 year old-does not qualify for Medicaid, the Free Clinic has no appointments available for 2-3 months, the County clinic is 'reviewing' her application, it may be > 2 months until she can be see there. I showed her Rep. Gingrey's article, i.e. that she could get her health care at a crisis pregnancy center. It is good sometimes to see the light dawn in someone's eyes. . . women wake up! Call Rep. Gingrey's offic and tell him that you need health care today! Please call Rep. Gingrey's office at (202) 225-2931 right now!!
