Health care was passed a few weeks ago in the House and has now been taken to the Senate floor with the necessary 60 votes for open debate, eliminating the possibility of the use of a filibuster by Republicans. I believe that everyone needs to have health care, be it through the government's public option (which is included in the bill for both houses) or with a private insurance company. The cost to Americans is too great when those who simply cross the border into America to get an injury fixed or have a baby. Cheaters of the system cause problems to everyone, and this universal health care will help alleviate some of the pressure that already rests on Americans' shoulders with the depression, but in the future will ultimately help, recession or not.

1. Who drew the cartoon? Manny Francisco
2. Where was it published? 12/4/09, Manila, The Philippines
3. What issue does it deal with? The cartoon deals with the Tiger Woods scandal, his mistress and his wife.
4. What is the cartoon's message? The cartoon's message is that Tiger got himself caught up in a relationship with his mistress, which the cartoon somewhat blatantly describes with the multiple 'holes' Tiger is confused by.
5. Do you agree with the cartoon's message? I do agree, Tiger is without a doubt an idiot if he thought he could not only get away with this secret woman, but that even if his wife found out about it, the press wouldn't! His homely, all-American image is ruined by the scandal. He has many young fans, all of whom look up to Tiger with respect and admiration, that he has violated.
