I can't begi...Good Sunday morning, Becca! :+)<br /><br />I can't begin to actually understand the US health care "system". I'm not convinced anyone can. But I'm pretty sure it's that much better in, for example, certain bits of Europe.<br /><br />>"I think blogs are mainly a form of self amusement, something to do."<br /><br />In part, yes. (I suddenly realize, I haven't looked at *your* blog in rather a long time. I should fix that.) If you lived here, you'd take every form of amusement you can get. But, for me at least, it is also frequently a hell of a catharsis. Not to mention the third possibility of being a virtual writing portfolio, visible to the world. But I've had very limited success there as yet.<br /><br />>"A lot of people would be thinking, 27, what have you got to complain about.

I've heard of the problems with the health care reforms/expansion... being Canadian we're brought up with paying for mandatory health care at a certain age (depending upon income), it's just one of those things like the traditional winter game of hide the moose, never thought to question it. When I'm out of the country though I have to pay for private coverage and it can bite quite deep, but then just to renew my passport this last time added up to almost $200 what with photo and secure transit to Ottawa. Costs have really been offloaded onto the bottom for quite awhile I think, and yet they say productivity is up while services shrink. I think Canada is doing about as well as anyone (thanks to financial regulations we went against Clinton and whoever else to not throw out for the sake of stimulation).<br /><br />A lot of people would be thinking, 27, what have you got to complain about. Like me, I'm 45 but spinny as ever, and I remember hitting 33 1/3 as if were last week!<br /><br />I think blogs are mainly a form of self amusement, something to do.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914898097781351084noreply@blogger.com
