\\u201cWe are paying for the Care, not the Health.\\u201d\\xa0 And that\\u2019s the problem, says Elena Marks, President and CEO of Episcopal Health Foundation.\\xa0 In just about every poll that asks what Americans most care about when deciding who will get our vote, healthcare is at or near the top of the list.\\xa0 It will most certainly be a major topic during next week\\u2019s Democratic Presidential debate here in Houston.\\xa0 Although no one can argue that we don\\u2019t all need care to keep us healthy and able to live productive lives, howwe get there remains the source of bitter, partisan debate both inside and outside the halls of Congress.\\xa0 The question is, what is the consequence of that divide when people\\u2019s lives literally hang in the balance.\\xa0 Our guest in this week\\u2019s episode of Our Voices Matter has some striking insights to share from the trenches on behalf of those whose voices too often remain in the shadows.
