The Healthcare Debate Continues

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

We like to keep things nice and calm here at the Naugas. The scenery is beautiful, we are far from civilization and we attract a mellow crowd.

But a couple of days ago we had two guests get into a heated discussion about healthcare. One was a doctor (general practitioner, I think) and the other a lawyer. The doc wants single-payer coverage, the lawyer wants things left alone. Doc said he’s tired of dealing with insurance companies and financially-stressed patients. Attorney said he wants to keep suing the pants off doctors.

Up here, we learn what medical information we need off the web and get free medicines when we can. We get plenty of exercise and breathe fresh air. Whatever the politicians do, they will do.
