Let's get the party started! Here is a scary story about health care. My husbands care is over 6k per month. no wonder I am broke; oh well money is not the issue at this stage anyway

I'm starting to think Mexico might be the place for health care. The only thing that worries me are the drug cartels violence. And some of you in here think the media portrayal of it all is overblown.

Who's doing all of the grave digging? Im receiving rep points for post I made 2-3 years ago.

Makes me go back and re-read all the old posts as well. ha

I also get reps from way back. I don't care if they go back to the beginning of time, just keep them coming. I love them.

Sometimes I'll do some research via CD.com, through Search, and there's times the thread I find useful was dating way back to 2007 or 2008, and if the info is extremely beneficial to me, I'll rep those with the helpful posts.

I'm sure that puzzles some of those people, like OMG!

HOLY MOLY!
That's insane. There's gotta be a better way.
Caring for a sick loved one is toooo costly.
Good luck.

was before the war. Many people had health problems that although were not life
threatening, made their lives hard. No political party in this country dares even dream of
dismantling it. They realise how dear it is to the people of this country. They tinker with
it, and try to keep a lid on the cost, but I think they all realise running a health service in
this way for the benefit of all citizens is what the people of this country expect.

I read that NHS hospital management in being turned over to private firms as a result of cost overruns, inefficiency and poor care.

England’s Care Quality Commission, a regulatory agency, has found that a quarter of the National Health Services hospital trusts fail to meet basic standards of hygiene, according to The Telegraph’s Andrew Hough.

So I am not so confident that a socialized care system is the best answer. I guess both systems have their problems.

I went and had my hair cut today finally after a year. (had a coupon for $6.) The lady doing my hair said her Dad's birthday is tomorrow. He also hears the jokes.
