Social changes


Sometimes it isn't about wedding photography, childrens portraiture, senior pics, or any of the things that the staff at Bobbi Brinkman Photography does to earn their keep. Sometimes it is about bigger things, about us all.

How many people in America do not have health care? The number is staggering and simultaneously terrible, shameful, embarrassing and deeply sad. We are arguably the greatest country on the earth, the fact that citizens of all ages do not have health insurance is something to hang our heads about.

We give an approving nod to the state of Massachusetts--- how wonderful that the Governor says he will sign a bill that all of its residents will be able to take care of their health, and have the peace of mind and resources that every American deserves. Massachusetts is in fact on the cutting edge of social change in our country. Hopefully all of the legislators will find a way to offer ALL of us tools to manage our health and live better, stronger productive lives. Hopefully we are all making it a priority to let our elected officials know what is important to us and that we expect them to lead the charge to make our dreams an American reality.
