Please read the link I have added here. It is a letter to Mr. Obama concerning a better way to go with Health Reform. Phttp://www.galen.org/component,8/action,show_content/id,13/blog_id,1143/category_id,2/type,33/

Please, I think we have beat this dead horse enough! We will have to agree to disagree on this subject. There are those of us who will not just sit by and accept everything that is hand fed to us. No matter what anyone tells us, we have our princi...

i do think it is the holy grail along with the declaration of independence and the magna carta. i hold these documents in high esteem along with the brave men and women who risked life and limb to give you and me the freedoms we enjoy. i, too, am f...

Your basic innate recognition of a human right to healthcare would be the compassion of healing and care-giving, not robbing from me and giving to others who have had the chance to prosper and pull themselves up by the bootstraps the way I learned to...

Just as I posted before, if one disagrees with the majority then that one person is made to feel as if they have three heads or are Attilla the Hun. Yes, I am in the healthcare industry and no I don't think one of the rights of a human being is heal...

How is it that everyone is paying? There are people who do not work and pay taxes. So how do they pay? If they don't pay now, how will they pay with the "free healthcare"? Medicaid will not go away, so those of us who do pay taxes still pay for M...

Thank you so much for saying what had to be said! I try not to write too many replies because of my politics, which do lean to the right. Every time I have replied to a touchy subject I feel I get attacked by those who would want to stiffle my opin...

I think you are mistaken, it will not be everyone who will be paying. Not everyone now pays taxes. In fact there are a lot of people who get refunds from the government who do not pay into it. I think that is called earned income credit. I am a s...

I would like to know how all this "free healthcare" is going to be paid for. Who is going to pay for it? Nothing is free! My husband and I already pay enough taxes for three people. He has his own business and with federal taxes (no state~we live...

I'm sorry, but I don't quite believe the half truths of Michael Moore. Yes, I have watched all his documentaries and I have found that I don't quite like the way he spins his stories. I'm not ready to drink from Michael Moore's cup of kool-aide at ...

I think it would be appropriate for fergus51 to update the US nurses with any changes that have occurred between her "lengthy post", which was written if you noticed in 2004, and now, 2009!

CONGRATS!!!!

How about "oldtimers". That's what I have heard from so many patients and some medical people!

If you get stung by fire ants and you can stand it use bleach and warm water. When I first moved here the dog and I stepped in a whole mess of fire ants. She had the good sense to get away from them right away, but I didn't know why she was jumping...

Not giving Td's for childhood vaccinations anymore. Age 11-12 they give Tdap now. For the last 4 years there has been a resurgence of Pertussis in the population and the Tdap covers that need. Over time we lose our immunity for Pertussis that we r...

Sorry about the "sister" comment. I guess I didn't do my homework and look at your profile. As my kids would say "my bad"!!! Generators are such a blessing; we went out and bought a very large generator after hurricane season 2004. That's the fi...

Preach it sister!!LOL You're right, even though I am one of those people you speak of. But when we first moved here exactly 10 years ago yesterday it was beautiful. We'd go to the beach and it would be pristine and the air had that salty clean aro...

"This is because his education is ultimately my responsibility as his parent." That is what I have been stating! The education system down here does not work unless the parents decide it is their responsibility as a parent!!! The schools are NOT t...

I'm not trying to put down your state, I'm just stating the facts about things that need to change to make this a state that children will be able to get a great education. There cannot be education when parents will not be parents. You cannot be a...

Gabrielle, I do agree about the schools being in chaos. The teachers cannot control these children because the parents won't let them! I disagree with you that FL hates kids. I feel as though their parents hate them! Remember, I'm in the school s...

Suzanne, Congrats!! You have worked hard and I do remember it well! I'm so proud of your accomplishment. It is a long and hard path to travel down with all the bumps along the way but when you finally arrive, it is all worth it. I have to tell ...

I live between Largo and Seminole which is not bad. There are a lot of run down areas in Largo, but there are a lot in St. Pete, also. You just have to look long and hard for the right areas. Last month it was very tolerable with heat and humidity...

As a school nurse, I have to be at a shelter during hurricanes. Our district school system has an agreement with the Public Health Dept. to help man all the shelters in the county. With the famous four hurricanes of '04 I was always away from my fa...

I live in Largo, about 5 minutes from the beach. Usually December thru April are very good weather. Not much rain but blue skies and breezes without that horrible humidity day in and day out!:wink2:
