Speaking out

I would really like to see some Celebrity Speakers start to speak out about how this country needs to get its act together and fix our country’s healthcare system.  I think it is simply inexcusable for us to be allowing our legal, law-abiding taxpaying citizens die horrible deaths simply because they can’t afford the healthcare that they need.

I would love to be hearing about large conventions and meetings with Keynote Speakers that are focused on getting the job done.  I would really like it if they had the info right there to answer any questions and assuage their doubts.  I’m getting really tired of hearing so many people trying to use scare tactics against improving our healthcare system.  We need to take action; there are too many people out there that need help and can’t wait much longer for us to do the right thing.  And I’ve noticed that more often than not, getting celebrities involved in causes helps those causes to succeed.

So very sad

Yesterday I decided to stop by a store that I’ve been wanting to go to for a long time. I don’t know why I never stopped there before; just never seemed to find the time. But yesterday I was driving past and I knew I had a few minutes to spare so I decided to pull in. There was an elderly woman sitting at a picnic bench right outside the front door, folding T-shirts. I decided to just sit down beside her and chat. I don’t know why, I just did!

So we sat there chatting, her folding her T-shirts, me just enjoying the nice weather and the conversation. The talk turned to family, and the passings of loved ones. Seems she lost her hubby about three years ago to cancer. He had been sick for months and ran up huge hospital bills. She’s convinced that if they had been able to afford health insurance to help with his fight against cancer, he would still be alive today. That is such a very sad story. Certainly one that makes me wish that this country took better care of the health needs of its citizens.
