It was Clint Eastwood who said: "A man has got to know his limitations!" If I learn nothing more about writing, may I learn more about courage!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-17471099438724839892007-08-08T05:30:00.000-07:002007-08-08T05:30:00.000-07:00All hail King George II....or elesAnother great po...All hail King George II....or eles<BR/><BR/>Another great post!!!!!Thank you for all your hard work.<BR/><BR/>FREE health care or WAR the choice is OURS...it's OUR taxes that feed this war machine!

Abandoned by traditional medicine, oh yes she had Medical but this plan did not pay enough to satisfy specialist in So. Ca. Finally a friend decided to pay her Dr.'s visit. Waha, I found a Dr. who would see her. The Dr. felt compassion after seeing my daughter and is now going to accept her Medical as total payment. Freedom, but a little late.<BR/><BR/>Now, two weeks later the Dr. at the Nursing home, would not start to give her the medicine, or authorize a stat for a mri. After approaching two weeks and all my angier and wrath, freedom, the decider with a little pressure finally from the nursing home,is going to admit her to the hospital for a stat mri. Freedom.<BR/><BR/>My health care crisis with my daughter represents, a sea of other such patients in our Country. While the Bush Adm. goes off to War killing thousands of people and spending all our treasure on a fruitless War, others like my daughter are suffering.<BR/><BR/>Freedom, for a Country that doesn't want us there. In the name of Freedom, while our Country is being stripped of her freedoms, wiretapping, torture, detention centers all over the world. No, I don't call that freedom. We no longer live in a free Country.Diane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709680778603784433noreply@blogger.com
