If we experience ourselves as separate individuals, compassion is generosity directed outward. If we experience ourselves as one body, compassion is simply the natural response to our shared condition, and serving another is no longer sacrifice. It is participation in reality.

If the ACA tax credits expire, 1.7 million Californians will lose coverage or face premium hikes they cannot afford – an average of $1,500/yr. For many, that is the difference between maintaining lifesaving care & going without. That’s just CA. Congress needs to extend the ACA tax credits. #medsky
