Health Care

Just in case you have been hiding under a rug for a couple of months, I thought I would bring this topic back to the spotlight. I have gotten a little annoyed at news shows etc. because they keep repeating the same thing. You get to the point where you don't want to hear it anymore. It's like a broken record - and I don't want to sound like that all the time.

There is a crucial point to make though so I will say it again: Health Care, how I define it, is something that helps your body function properly. If you are sick, medicine might help you get better. If you twist something in your back, a chiropractor could help you get better. If you have something serious like appendicitis, surgery may be needed to help your body get better. Notice a trend? If you are pregnant, an abortion does not help your body get better - there are many health risks for you that usually are not associated with the actual pregnancy. As a result, abortion does not fit my definition and here is an article that explains the current events pretty well if anyone is interested.

  1. definitely. besides the whole "it being murder thing", why introduce controversial-highly politicized-divisive procedures like that anyway into a bill you need bi-partisan support on?
    oh wait, i remember, you have an agenda. an agenda that is apparently more important that health care.
    :(

  2. Didn't I just read a post that you don't go into the political? j/k - somehow the murder thing just doesn't get through people's heads. You would think things like increased risk of breast cancer, infertility, and way scarier things, like death of the mother, would hold some ground. Hopefully the positive theme that health care heals the body will catch on sometime....soon
