I don&#8217;t know all the details of whatever bill is in the congress or the senate, but I at least know that a change is needed. It definitely would be a nice bonus to stick it to some of the corrupt health insurance companies (or are they all corrupt?).<br />
<a href="http://www.gabrielangeldesign.com/shop.cgi/tshirtsandgifts.gabrielangel.4164255+silver-medical-symbol.html"><img class="alignleft" title="Display Your Support for Health Care" src="http://www.gabrielangeldesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/silver-caduceus-medical-symbol.png" alt="Silver caduceus medical symbol with 2 serpents wrapping around a winged staff" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
With the silver medical symbol, I wanted a political design that was centered around the health care debate, but I didn&#8217;t want some corny slogan or saying. The caduceus <strong>medical symbol</strong> was a great place to start. It&#8217;s not the traditional medical symbol (see the rod of Asclepius for that), but it has become widely excepted and I like it for this situation. It&#8217;s interesting to think that those 2 serpents (or snakes for modern sake) wrapping around the staff with wings atop came to represent medicine</p>
<p>This design is a more 3 dimension version of the classic design. Silver looked much better to me than gold or white, so I went with that. I gave it a little more of a bevel to make it pop out a little extra. My logo wraps nicely around with the serpent. I went through all the internet magic to get it all set up in my store and I also added it to the <a title="Take Pride in Your Health" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196810270337121247"><em>Silver Medical Symbol</em></a> section of my secondary store.</p>
