I donated $50, but I really wish US (and other countries) would reconsider their broken healthcare systems. My dad died of cancer a few years ago and I am really glad we lived in Denmark when he got it - - with a great public healthcare system. He lived 2 years with his cancer, which is a lot when you are counting days. Not many normal people can afford these things (as each of my dads treatments cost about 20.000USD+ and he had a lot of them).

Also, just yesterday DHH posted this: "Top income tax rate for California residents is 51.6%. Top for Danish residents is 51.7%. (Kicking at $500k+ vs $70K+, though)."

Which puts things in perspective.
