The Abundant Ground Foundation currently has four programs addressing specific needs. The Abundant Ground on Long Island is a food distribution program. We are providing approximately $40.50 of fresh groceries to families on Long Island. We know there many families who struggle between the mortgage and the bills. We desire through this program to give them a boost in feeding their household. The Abundant Ground in Haiti sends monthly supplies in food, clothing, and resources by boat to help those affected by the hurricanes. Our purpose in these provisions is to bring immediate relief and in the long run, help this country toward recovery.


Please Make a Donation TodayThe Abundant Ground in NYC program provides holiday cards to inmates in New York City. We hope to support the families and children of inmates during this period by providing cards that the inmates may send their support. The  Abundant Ground in Louisiana is a program offering the finishing touches to Katrina Survivors coming back home. We would like to provide these survivors with every basic necessity for the typical rooms in a house. For what the Katrina Survivors have been through, we desire that this be a "Welcome Home" package for them.

Our 

Country  

Divided
The Health Care Reform bill in the United States has sparked great debate amongst its citizens. Is it a good idea or not? Will it benefit everyone or a select few? With the economy in the state it is in, what kind of cost will any kind of health care reform cause me, as a taxpayer, to be facing? Even with all the heated arguments for both sides of the issue, there are some surprising realities about the countries response:

One reality is that the citizens of the United States are pretty much evenly split between those supporting the reform and those opposed. There is no clear cut winning side to the debate. If you went out and found a group of people and asked them whether they wanted the reform, you would get almost an even split of "yes" and "no". The greatest explanation for this is partisanship, as both the Republicans and the Democrats have taken a "side" and dug in their heals.

A second reality is that health care reform is far from at the top of most Americans' "priority" list. Other issues, like the economy, are much more pressing in many citizens' minds. It seems that the majority, when asked, think that health care reform should be more gradual, thought out, and take place over a longer period of time, a little at a time.

Reality is that it seems most aren't thinking of themselves when it comes to the health care reform. Most who are already covered by insurance, in fact, are happy with their coverage and don't plan to change it in the future. Those who are in favor of overhauling the system are doing so to help those less fortunate, who have no health insurance coverage at all.

Truth is although several aspects of the health care reform bill have appeal to a majority of citizens in the US, there are just as many aspects that do not. Such a broad sweeping overhaul as is being proposed leaves people with a lot of questions and concerns, instead of a firm stance that the reform is ultimately a good or bad move to support.

The realities surrounding health care reform is hardly a cut and dry issue. In the opinion of most Americans, a slower, more gradual plan of changing current health care trends would be more readily accepted and supported.
