Regardless if people are for or against something, I would think they could manage to be civil about it. <br /><br />But I was quite pleased by the outcome as well. It does still need a little tinkering, but definitely a step in the right direction. And Obama - I still love the guy. I just love him very quietly because I'm tired of getting beat up for it.AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543694658900314972.post-88103245362699150302010-03-22T03:34:01.956+00:002010-03-22T03:34:01.956+00:00You poor thing!

I This ALL PEOPLE living in the country deserves to be able to afford healthcare. I especially took the to part were you reminded people that the people that are in need of healthcare are not the poor, jobless, individuals. The everyday hardworking people are fighting this fight and Americans should stand up with them! Give everyone what they deserve. I am a military spouse and I HAVE got. insurance. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

And for the record.. to all the people that are so scared... I lived in England for two years and opted OUT of our military insurance and into their national healthplan for that two years. It was better than the care I received through the military and I have to say.. it isn't bad at all. Yes, you might wait a while for a ROUTINE appointment... but if you NEED something you get it.

But, mostly my heart ached for my daughter, as I watched her suffer in pain yesterday waiting for the insurance company get their crap together so the doctor could treat her. She couldn't prepare the birthday dinner she had planned for her son, she couldn't go out with the family to enjoy the beautiful afternoon on this special day with her boys, how sad she was as the cake decorations, scattered across the counter, sat unused because couldn't stand at the stove to finish the birthday cake she wanted for him, and the special trip to Baskin Robbins was cancelled because she was drained and waiting for the doctor's return phone call. And, I watched as tears touched her cheek because the special attention he deserved was directed to her because of this episode. And I wonder how many more times and how many more fights will develop with the insurance company as we fight to keep her healthy living with this disease (and she has the “good” insurance).Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526363661695409335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543694658900314972.post-77737062665945960112010-03-18T12:13:45.704+00:002010-03-18T12:13:45.704+00:00Oh no.

I think the only reason some people don't want healthcare reform is because they've been duped. Or maybe they are, like, a CEO of an insurance company and are worried about the gigantic bonus they may not get anymore.
