The Sunday Morning Muse, July 19, 2009


It's time to do something about health care. Really. Now. SOMETHING. Even if it's wrong. It's obvious, people. Boomers are getting old. People are living longer. The system is cumbersome and expensive now, so what will it be like in 10 years?
-

People who can't afford insurance don't go to the doctor. So they don't get checkups and routine physicals, or regular mammograms and routine blood tests to screen for things... and guess what? When they do get sick... it's serious. It's a stroke, a heart attack, cancer, well, you get the picture. Now the dollars really add up.

-
Can't sustain this.
-

It's funny how the very people who are elected to make these kinds of tough policy decisions, have the best healthcare. Most probably have always HAD health insurance.
-

I say.. if we can spend a trillion dollars on a needless war, we can spend money to help people right here who need health care.
