yeah. it looks like habitat does pretty well, and does some good things! i can get behind something like that! either way, getting back to the thread topic, it seems like they (or people benefiting from the homes) may get plenty of help from the federal government in terms of grants, gov. influenced interest rates on loans, oversight, etc.. and, they take an interest in federal disaster relief, for example. so, i wonder what people think about things like tax reform and how it could play out in terms of such help, and which candidates seem to support whatever you believe in.

Hi, I'm back. I don't understand finance or the inner workings of Habitat for Humanity, though several of my family members have volunteered for HFH. I do understand health care. I read that article. I guess what it is telling us is that a universal health care system (note I did not say single payer) is a good thing. I would like to more about what the article meant about "certain cancers", "certain bacterial infections". France and Japan have high rates of smoking. So I wonder if the study included lung cancer, which is largely (note I did not say totally) preventable by not smoking. Would also like to know which bacterial infections are being referenced.
