And if not - why not? I don't understand how a country like the US is a "super power" but they can't provide simple medical care to their people.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the kid - how frigging painful would that be - sounds like she's tough though - like her NanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012768592941285677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-31347844918230474142009-09-09T12:25:29.522-04:002009-09-09T12:25:29.522-04:00Anny, I've been sending emails to the White Ho...Anny, I've been sending emails to the White House, voicing my support for universal health care. The opposition is so vocal, I think it's important to remind the president that there are many people who are behind it.<br /><br />I just read a scary article yesterday about how my insurer is dropping people when they get a major illness (after collecting their premiums all those years). They are already trying to get out of even applying my medical bills for this year to my huge deductible. <br /><br />Today, I sent another note to the White House with a link to your blog. It's easy to do. I'd encourage you all to go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ and let them know we are out here watching. The president needs all the ammunition he can get since nearly all our legislator's campaigns are being funded by insurers and pharmaceutical companies now.<br /><br />Good thoughts for your granddaughter.Lyla Sinclair www.lylasinclair.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668290203132657514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-66104573432460490082009-09-09T11:34:48.028-04:002009-09-09T11:34:48.028-04:00Hope your granddaughter is ok, Anny!

Our insurance just switched prescription plans, so maybe it will be different now. But I can't tell you how many times I'd have to call the dr and request a generic or plain ol' penicillin, since it was less than $5. When you only get $400 a week, groceries, bills, and gas take most of it. Who can afford another $100 for prescriptions?<br /><br />I agree, Sandra. That's insane!Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-6990855956019211962009-09-09T07:41:34.425-04:002009-09-09T07:41:34.425-04:00Poor, little thing.

If they could afford it, they'd buy it.

Especially someone like T. It's horrible that she has to suffer.

Thanks for speaking out about a rotten batch of tomatoes that people are afraid to speak freely of for fear of having their house pelted with rotten eggs! I hope your granddaughter will get the medical help she needs without bankrupting her poor family. If you need donations, I know where a whole passel of authors are hiding out who would happily shell out a ten or twenty to help out a pal and a kid! Just get yourself a PayPal account, and i will be first in line. Hugs!Fran Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247024581813249889noreply@blogger.com
