It was a Tuesday...

Both Monday and Tuesday brought me places I do not like to be at work and at home.
In conflict with just about everyone else on the planet, at least it seemed.
At work, something that has been dragging around since 1977 (before even i was there), came to a political head.
I forced one issue and stood my ground, but did not force another.
I demand complete openness about results and some one wanted to what, i would not let that happen.
I had an opinion based on 30 years of looking at a problem that everyone kind said no way. I did not force the issue, but my point was made and people who might be in trouble were taken care of.
I got a slew of E-mails with more lies about Obama, Russia and Health care.
People have no idea what they are being fed.
I witness 2 people who can not get proper health care. one is David, who is DISABLED and because doctors can choose whether to treat any ailment he has or not based on their issue with any health care provider that the system provides.
The other is another friend who retired in his early 60's because of a Heart issue. He can not get Health Insurance because he has a preexisting condition.
Is the current proposal good? I do not know, but it has to be better than what these 2 have to deal with now.
So full of emotion and fight, I write.
I did not make any friends today.

Some days are like that! Good to stand your ground with an understanding that the ground is always moving even if we don't feel it. I agree, there has to be a better health care system!

don't worry about not making friends, i'm glad you made a point.

That happens sometimes. Not every day can be for making friends.

Some things about the Japanese system are good. A government oversight committee sets prices for doctors and insurance companies, so they are privately operated but all provide the same coverage at the same rates. The downside is that unscrupulous doctors still abuse the system by scheduling extra appointments and unnecessary tests.

Why would you want to make friends with anyone that believes thse things anyway?

Yo are a good, prou, strong man and you want others to have the care they deserve. That makes oyu #1 with me.
