Might get 'round to writing a post to that effect. The conversation elsewhere is head-bangingly frustrating. I'm going back to the land which thinks that caring for others is unChristian and that being a Clint-Eastwood-rugged-individualist is What God Wants. Bah.

So glad your husband got the treatment he needed - yay for the NHS!<br />And I hope that neither of you will be making much use of that medical insurance when you get back Stateside.

Obama won't have that fixed before you get here, but we have hope.</i><br /><br />I was tempted to add a comment at the bottom of my post to the effect that if you don't have insurance in the US, you'd go blind as well but I thought that might be too much of a cheap shot.<br /><br />I'll tell you what, though. There was certainly the temptation to not buy temporary individual health insurance cover until one of us has a job and can have group health. THAT temptation is no longer there!PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-17687056553323057562009-06-28T01:13:04.834+01:002009-06-28T01:13:04.834+01:00Thank God!

I was at a conference today where the speaker noted that, as a child, we feared polio and went from polio shots to sugar cubes to - nothing. And remember smallpox shots? Today's med students know nothing of this.<br /><br />Thank God also for quick thinking on you and your husband's part.<br /><br />PS - I think we have the same technology here - you just have to have insurance. Obama won't have that fixed before you get here, but we have hope.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468533109564823868noreply@blogger.com
