health and politics

there are almost 48 million americans that are uninsured in this country, a place which have the highest quality health care one can get anywhere in the world and being in the fore front of this sector i agree. we deliver the best health care here in the U.S. be that in organ transplants, child and adult care, or any aspects of health maintenance, any one sick person can encounter. the hospitals here are first rate and all customized to meet any given call of a sick body at any time. sanjay gupta, my next husband in my next life, just a joke of course, and btw, he lives not far away from us, so if i'm a stalker, i won't have a hard time but sadly i'm not, laughs. but anyway, this celebrated, admired and also stalked M.D. but not by me to make this clear, laughs, was explaining this process for he also works at CNN. you can google him for more info, or details about him if you want. a very popular, nice, decent and a very accomplished guy. i know you'll like him too like i do, laughs. no kidding :)

but anyway, to meet the pressing problem of the uninsured here tax rebates are on the table under the republican banner so one can buy their own health insurance, and that is a first. when hillary fought for universal health care coverage for all americans under her husband's administration, the lobbyist from the big pharmaceutical companies fought so hard to defeat it and they won. it will be just like canada that everything will be regulated, price of meds, including M.D.'s salary which will be lesser so the prospect of lesser profits to their pockets scared these giant drug companies. it's just sad, and a mess. the best country on earth can't even deliver health benefits to all its citizenry and that is incomprehensible and unacceptable. hope that this time around something concrete will come out to meet this big problem here. and my favorite and most admired M.D. was out on air today explaining this to everyone, but sanjay we got it. money moves things and money also prevents things like this one to happen...so good luck!
