... sorry to hear that. Ill remember you in my prayers meditations and offerings.
Its amazing how most ppl who have to deal with the US healthcare system are sick and fed up... even people who WORKED in healthcare. I have health isses, and wanted to "make a diffrence", so i got a job trying to do that in healthcare.
I got to a point where i realised one person isnt gonna change anything as long as corporations and insurance companies REALLY run the health care in this country.
I saw people denied care because they were indigent, Mexican, poor or uninsured. I know of people who died because of that lack of care. Their families couldnt do a damn thing cause either they didnt speak english, they were poor, or they believed it when the "mighty doctors from on high" descended from their holy mountain to tell them that it wasnt their fault, their loved one was "beyond hope". And anyway, nothing would bring back their family member, so what is the fucking point of suing? money cant solve all probs (something americans, esp the health care system needs to learn!) and not everything has a "dollar amount" attached to it. some things are PRICELESS - like ppl!
Then i went to work @ the MEs office. It was even more frustrating, cause instead of dealing with just one hospitals fuck-ups and "oops!"s i got to see all of them for a five-county area. It was enraging.
I went to work at a vet clinic till my health got to where i just couldnt do it anymore. In the US, our PETS get better care then people, because corporations and insurance companies dont think they can make a buck off em - yet.
I totally agree with you about the rose colored glasses... and it makes me think of Glen Beck. He thought everything was hunkey-dorey until it was HIS ASS that was almost killed. Then he pitches a total fit and wants things to change... i guess he figured a rich famous white guy on the news should have better care. Surprise! Were all equally screwed here!
Nanny states scare me, especially when they want to control my body... and its really ironic that people in this forum who get frothing over "pro-lifers" telling em what to do will gladly have the goverment control their bodies in another way since it meets their NEEDS and WANTS.
HYPOCRACY!!! man. its not just for the repukes anymore!
Peace my friend! :loveya:
PS - i use "dude" for both genders, i dont mean to offend ya :silly:
