Re: Oh, Canada

Oops, Kathy, sorry. I'm behind in my reading and just posted what could well be

interpreted as political, so if it doesn't go through, I'll understand. It's

just that it is hard

to separate the issue of health care from politics sometimes! I write lots of

letters to my

senators and congressmen on the subject, to no avail as yet, but at least they

have to keep

my letters, even if it's in the " Nut File " .

[Editor's Note: Lucia, I let the earlier comment go through because I don't

think there is ANYONE who has been impacted, directly or indirectly, by a

chronic or acute illness in this country who thinks that the system we currently

have is terrific. It is sorely broken. I remember, as you do, the valiant

effort Hillary Clinton put forth as first lady only to be be laughed at by the

good ole boys in Congress who won't do anything unless there is pork in it for

them. I could write tomes about the hypocrisy of the " values " espoused by some

people in positions of power. However, this isn't the forum for that - BUT -

every voter in America ought to look beyond rhetoric and vote for people who

favor real changes or we will have a country where our youth are uneducated, our

elderly are thrown away, our sick are allowed to wallow in pain, our soldiers

are allowed to die in vain and our promises to our those who come after us are

unfulfilled. Keep the faith, Lucia. Kathy F.]
