OT: Health Care Reform - Reality ** Kinda Longish

[Guest guest]

I hear what you're saying, Butch.  My father (91 right now) was an Air Force

Colonel and lives now in the Veterans Home in Chula Vista, CA, where he can

discuss " the good old days "  with his cronies.  But he and his friends there all

back the health reform bill.  Even though they have the VA and he himself has

Kaiser (from retiring from the City of Los Angeles after 30 yrs. as the head

civil engineer). But he has me, and my kids and grandkids as well as my sister

and her kids--all of which have no other hope of getting health care.  i also

have a son who is in the Marines, now serving in Afghanistan, who is also in

favor of the bill, as are many there who have family/friends who are having

trouble getting care.  We all are of a " wait and see " opinion right now.  But

i'll not complain about anyones attempts to level the playing field on any

subject.  However, i guess i am mostly of a socialist bent, as i am Canadian.
