Never before in America has knowing a second and third language been more valuable. Never before in America has the experience of growing-up biculturally, that is in a home that was preparing you for the culture of your parents’ origins – since this is the culture they knew or knew well enough to pass on – and in a community that was decidedly American. Never before in America has your travel to perhaps your parents ‘ (or even your) country of origin for the summer to visit grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins been so valuable with it’s lessons of how things can be done differently by people around the globe who now happen to be living in America, . Never before has living with a family member who has had an undiagnosed mental illness been so valuable as it teaches that there are different ways we approach different members of our family and therefore members of our community, all of whom will are ours, no matter what wall we build in our mind or in reality. Never before has knowing how to care for, put to rest, and mourn for loved ones been so valuable as learned within our own homes and from the experiences of our neighbors and friends whose parents also speak with accents. The values of the meek may indeed flood the earth in order to provide health care with dignity in the last remaining days, weeks, and months of those who have made it possible for us to live in a great nation, who have raised their and their grandchildren, who have paid their dues and their taxes; who have worked for others and who have been self-employed; who have followed the laws and who have been bridges to more people who are just like them. For these people, common Americans, health-care that honors the differences that have made this country different, unique and powerful is the only way to say in their last days, “Good-bye, and thank you!”

I think this is great ,it has been needed for a long time in the health care industry.
People need to be taken care of for their health problems not their race ,gender ,sexual orientation or economic issues.,these are secondary issues but we know they are being looked at first when a person comes into the healthcare system. If these health care people don,t want to take care of everyone equally then they need to work some were else.
