I just heard a podcast which I think, at the end of the day, is as eloquent a statement about the problems we have with health care in this country as any I have heard.
It is from a woman fresh out of college who has no health care and cannot afford any. If anything happens to her, large or small, she either cannot access care or has to do so through an emergency room at a much higher cost for the hospital, her, and all of us.
The very concept that everyone does not have health care in a nation of our stature is a joke. I have little patience for politics and find the arguments exhausting. But the object of this blog is to discuss the side effects of living. And I think the side effects of not being able to access a GP, or a dentist, or a therapist (which by the way, is not being offered under any proposal), when you need one, are monumental.
Can we put politics and special interests aside and take care of our own? Doing so would, in effect, benefit each and every one of us with a more productive, and healthier, population. That is truly money well spent.
