"I often say we’ve got a budget deficit that’s important, we’ve got a trade deficit that’s critical, but what I worry about most is our empathy deficit." Barack Obama
 -----------------------------------------------------------


How can We Change Healthcare to Address What Obama calls the Empathy Deficit?
June will be a big month for Healthcare as the Obama administration and Organizing for America are launching events and house parties in preparation for the Healthcare discussions in Congress. We will hold an Empathy Healthcare Cafe at Redwoods Gardens in Berkeley on Thursday, June 25th, to help promote discussion and action.  In the Empathy Healthcare Cafe we will share and video tape personal stories about the relationship between an empathetic society and healthcare.

"Barack always says that one of our greatest challenges as a nation is not a deficit of resources - for we are one of the riches countries in the world; and it’s not deficit of policies, because we have some of the greatest minds working on these issues. Instead, our greatest challenge is that we are living in a time when we are suffering from a deep empathy deficit." Michelle Obama
 -----------------------------------------------------------


 We hope you will take part and share your stories and insights and then help find concrete ways to fill the empathy deficit in Health Care.

"We have the opportunity to make a habit of empathy, to recognize ourselves in each other, to commit ourselves to resisting injustice and intolerance and indifference, in whatever forms they may take, whether confronting those who tell lies about history, or doing everything we can to prevent and end atrocities like those that took place in Rwanda, those taking place in Darfur. That is my commitment as president. I hope that is yours as well. It will not be easy." President Obama
