So, I'll just go ahead and make a new post on my blog if you'd like to read. <br />1/12/09Camilla Millarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726150518719814823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-91037705182376660142009-12-22T09:16:10.830-08:002009-12-22T09:16:10.830-08:00great post michelle.

I like it because the author identifies the true issues and thinks way outside our current system.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679175981747804889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-74693684906084666362009-09-30T13:20:38.720-07:002009-09-30T13:20:38.720-07:00I agree that SOMETHING needs to be done.

I have two brothers in med. school and another one in a Masters of Health Administration/MBA program... so we talk about this a lot.<br /><br />One documentary that I thought was particularly informative -and very interesting!- was the one at this link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/<br /><br />If you ever get the chance (and want to), you could check it out.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697768042555599145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-52215104587073721192009-09-29T15:33:29.186-07:002009-09-29T15:33:29.186-07:00Thanks for sharing, Michelle.

But do we want someone (the government)running it who can't keep a business (the country)in the black?

You go from being a hard-working productive member of society to wondering if this is going to be your ruin and you'll be living in a cardboard box the rest of your life. <br /><br />This is where I'm at. I've been worried about what's going to happen to me if universal doesn't go through because I was cut from my position due to the budget and while I had insurance through that job, I had a bunch of conditions that need long-term care diagnosed. These are now pre-existing conditions... <br /><br />Everyone should have the opportunity to be happy and healthy and be taken care of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31849511.post-87542748529092832272009-09-27T22:10:23.479-07:002009-09-27T22:10:23.479-07:00Don't take frustrations out on you? :)

I can't imagine being in that situation and how scary it would be.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.com
