My body responds to herbs and natural healing so that is what I use. I've always had great respect for China's medical system.

However, I just don't understand your healthcare set up, or lack of. I'm so used to Universal Healthcare in Canada and Britain. I've always thought healthcare was a right and not a privilege, acute or otherwise. <br /><br />Take care and pretend I didn't comment.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-53085142751163872352013-11-06T18:25:24.421-08:002013-11-06T18:25:24.421-08:00It's unbelievable to me that the ACA roll-out ...It's unbelievable to me that the ACA roll-out wasn't delayed until AFTER sufficient beta testing was conducted to find and kill the bugs FIRST. Lots of bad decisions made, but I'm hopeful that things will eventually run smoothly. Medicare and Social Security didn't start problem-free, either. But THESE problems could have been averted with proper preparation. With so much riding on its success, you'd think all those folks would have bent over backwards to get it right.

And when I came down with cholera when we lived in Egypt, it was an American Navy doctor at our medical station there at the time who quickly diagnosed the problem and provided the medication that saved my life. My husband's retired military. I wish every American had the same medical benefits we have -- the same that every member of Congress has -- which are pretty much what the ACA is all about. Yes, there are quirks, but they will shake out. A longtime friend lives in Boston. She loves "Romney Care" but hates "Obama Care."

That is not a good promotion for any President in the future to try and Do The Right Thing and close down the Fed. Chances are he/she would be executed before it could happen. I think the scale has tipped too far. <br /><br />Did I tell you that I went to Woodrow Wilson Jr. High school? That was three years as close to hell as I have ever been.

I can barely go in the big stores without getting immediate phsical symptoms. It just seems to drain all my energy, my nose is immediately stuffed up and my head hurts. Can you imagine all the radiation floating around in those stores that have a big roomful of the gigantic plasma TV's. The people who work there are most likely sick but have no idea where it's coming from. An allopathic doctor certainy won't tell them. Also hospitals..... one big Fukishima. It's a scary world we've made for ourselves.

I really can't say. My husband was Canadian and many of his relatives did cross the border when they had acute medical problems because they'd rather pay and get to see a doctor immediately. Yes, I fear we have given up something precious. I say "given up" because everyone was asleep and didn't want to see it happening. I've tried but the bright, the shiny, the trendy just say I'm senile so I tend my roses and read my books and "try" to shut up because no one listens anyway. Once in a while it bubbles up to my eyeballs and I do squeak out Thanks for the comment.

I rarely go to my doctor, only for prescription renewals for the puffers that keep me breathing without a coughing fit, or if I have unmanageable pain.
