Health Care is NOT a LUXURY item. It is a RIGHT! The scare tactics being used by the Insurance and Drug Co's flunkies only benefits those getting incredible kickbacks while hundreds of thousands suffer and die. They should be arrested for aiding and abetting in the unnecessary and premature deaths of the people they DENY coverage!

Daily Horoscope for March 21

Cancer

The day may start off with a bang as friends and associates continue to call, but by evening you're ready to spend some time alone. The changing Moon enters your twelfth house of secrets and solitude this evening, urging you to spend a quiet night recharging your spiritual batteries. If you must attend a social function, you may find it is easier to listen to others than to say much yourself.
