Same-Sex Marriage and Universal Healthcare

Here's a little something for you to think about.

There are 10 countries in the world which have legalized same-sex marriage.

Argentina, Norway, Iceland, Canada, Sweden, South Africa, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

The Netherlands were a leader once again by legalizing same-sex marriage in 2000. Twelve years now and people are still buying tulips. I would have thought it would be hard to grow tulips once you to go to hell, but apparently not.

Four of these ten countries are predominantly Catholic. One of these countries is on a continent where homosexuality is frequently illegal and/or condemned.

Of these 10 countries, eight (8) have universal healthcare.

80% of the countries that have realized that all people should be able to marry the person they love, regardless of sex, have also realized that healthcare should be made available to everyone.

Happy and Healthy. What a novel concept America.
