Being Political... again


You might remember back in the fall when I campaigned for Bark O'momma. I felt then and still feel that he was the right choice. I mostly believed that we needed health care reform. It just costs too much plastic for people and pets to be healthy in this country.
My mom's grandfather used to say that doctors were all FEE SPLITTERS. You have to go to one doctor to get referred to another one so they both get paid. If you go to the hospital... lots and lots of doctors might come in your room (and get paid for it) and you don't even know them and they don't even actually do anything.
As I told you yesterday, Lori is having Lasik surgery today IN CANADA !!!!
In this country it costs over $1,200 to have it done. In Canada you can get it for less than $800.00. Of course the Canadians DON'T PAY ANYTHING FOR THEIR LASIK.
My mom had this done 11 years ago. It has paid for itself over and over again. BUTT, her insurance would not pay for it. They would rather pay hundreds and hundreds of plastic for glasses, than to pay ONE TIME to fix the problem. CRAZY CRAZY
We have a health care system that is just way out of control. I hope it gets fixed and that it happens fast.
There now, I have said my piece.
