Hi Jane

>Some times I feel like I know you, Gillian<

Not unless you were in Vegas 17th July 1997, because that was my ONLY visit

Stateside!

Usually I reside in a small island off England called Ireland and then I am

hard to find anyway! The real positive aspects of residing on a island with

3 million other people, apart from space, we really all know each other. I

have four Government Representatives living locally, who you can walk into

on the street and abuse if necessary! Likewise the twelve members of the

local Council, live locally and you can abuse them. Let alone the reporters

of the two weekly newspapers. [My letter was printed last week]

I had to FIGHT for a FREE Medical Card for PA, when I arrived here, as PA

was NOT covered, but now it is. Likewise I had to fight to have EPO put on

prescription, so it is FREE.

Considering that their are estimated 3 million people in USA with Arthritis,

which COSTS the Country one percent of Gross National Profit, in disability,

time off work, time seeing a Rheumatologist, Doctors, and other medical

treatments, I am surprised YOU do not have a VOICE!

I assume you all have a VOTE and three million votes is not to be sneezed

at!

I do recall Hillary Clinton TRYING to pass some legislation on Medicare for

All, but she failed to get past the House of Senators. I know you may NOT

like this Lady, but then who said personalities comes into it. If someone

has a good idea, does it really matter who they are?

Yes you are entitled to sit back and MOAN about the COST of your medical

bills, but you are also entitled to get up and DO something about it. You

have the Internet, no reason why you cannot bombard your local Democrat or

Republican representative about your plight! AND this is Presidential

Election Year!

It only takes a handful of people to start rattling the cage, and you will

be surprised at how many other people will join you!

Food for thought?

Love and God Bless
