A TRIP ALL AROUND HEALTH CARE LAND

* I am concerned about health care . This law will have a hugh impact on millions of Americans.

Why am I so worried ? I am one of the biggest consumers of health care in the country. Let me tell you a story about the last seven years.

I have had eight surgeries or procedures since October 2003. I have number nine coming up next week. The count stands as follows ;
2 heart surgeries
3 eye surgeries
2 kidney procedures
1 dental surgery

Oh yes two diabetic collapses that ended with a hospital visit . I am an expert on health care by virtue of experience .

This health care deal is a great example of how Jesus takes care of things.

For 30 years we used Chilli Pepper's insurance . Then we learned that the insurance could not be continued after her retirement.

To be eligible for my insurance you had to be in the program one year before retirement. So we signed up in July of 2003, thinking I might retire in 2004.

I had only two deductions taken from my check when the big one hit. We beat the deadline by a month.

Jesus sure took care of Chilli Pepper & me . I bet the insurance company wonders why Jesus did not give them a heads up about us.

The insurance has been wonderful & my health professionals are great. My medical team is Dr. Arie {heart}, Dr. Dale {sugar} , & Dr. Leslie {kidney} . So many others have taken such good care of me.

Germantown Methodist sends me preferred customer specials in the mail.

I do not know the answer to health care. I think every one should have good health care. I don't think a family should face financial
ruin due to illness.

How can we spend billions on a war & not take care of the sick ? How can society pay entertainers millions while there are hungry children ?

I wish you & I could be Jesus Activists. Where we really live what we say we believe.
