I was just rereading what I wrote earlier and realized that there were a few other things that I wanted to mention but had forgotten. First, I want to let you know that I know the health care system is broken. I do believe that insurance costs and the cost of getting care are too high, but just to reiterate, I do not believe that government run health care is the answer. I also do not think it is right that insurance companies purposely find loopholes in people's policies just so they won't have to pay for their care. That is just sick and wrong. But again, I don't believe putting the government in charge of things would make anything any better. Having said that, I also know that I would much prefer paying a lot of money to get the care from the doctor I want and the hospital I want than to have someone tell me who I can or cannot see. I also like knowing that if something horrible happened to me or one of my family members, we wouldn't have to worry about getting the necessary care and treatment needed. In most countries with nationalized health care, there are waiting lists for specialists and for certain tests. For many of the people needing that care, they cannot wait. In essence the government is deciding who does and does not deserve care. I know for sure that isn't right. I do not know what the answer to our problem is. I wish I did. I guess that's all for now.
I still remember the fun I had Not having a care in the world-- Riding bike and climbing trees, Swimming on hot summer days, Reading in bed 'til I fell asleep. Many times I wish to be there, Filling my days with so much. Then there were the friends We swore we would always be; As we grew, they faded away, But there was one who stayed-- That one I can never forget. As much as I long to be carefree, I'd never give up the freedom: So many more options now, And ever so many decisions. But if I didn't have it all, When would I ever learn? So much to look forward to: Doing what I've always wanted-- Giving and helping so many, Fulfilling my wildest dreams, Beginning a miraculous love. Life is full of such great wonder-- We must remember the past, Never forget the future plans, But always live for today! --July 14, 2003 I was feeling pretty reminiscent the day I wrote this, remembering my childhood. The part about a friend never forgotten is about my best friend who I had growi...
