April 2012	Fred Schaad

One of the most touching scenes witnessed on our travels was this wall of baby shoes, left there
by desperate families hoping for a cure for their sick babies. The mission is said to be a sacred
place and a place of legendary healing. http://elsantuariodechimayo.us/ or go to http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2168

Many in America consider health care to be a privilege for those who can afford to pay. The number of uninsured in America was over 50 million in 2009.
