Health Care...the continuing saga!

Still following the debate about Health Care. I know that changes need to be made..I have family members who don't have insurance and rely on the state to help them when they need it. They can't afford to pay for insurance themselves, or the health care without it. It would be nice to know EXACTLY what is being proposed. Are we going to end up like Canada and have a waiting list of 10 months to get into the hospital to deliver a baby that hasn't even been conceived yet? Are they going to limit care to those who have life-threatening illnesses like cancer? What about emergency care? How long are we going to have to wait to get into the doctor for things that aren't life threatening but are still serious like the flu or pneumonia or to get stitches? Who is going to answer all these questions? And better still, who can you trust to answer these questions? Conservatives seem to be against it altogether and the liberals seem to think it is the great answer to all the problems with our health care system.

Miracle Field

Saturday, September 19 they had the Grand Opening of "Miracle Field" in Monroe. It is a baseball field especially designed for those with disabilities. It was very cool to see. It is nice to know that there are still people in the world that care so much about the needs of others. So many people donated time and money and supplies to this cause so that these youth can have a place to play and to feel somewhat "normal". Dallon performed at the opening, singing "God Bless America" He did an amazing job!

What were they thinking?

Ok, so Dallon is a senior in High School this year..he needs only 2.5 credits to graduate, yet somebody in "authority" made it impossible for him or any other senior to graduate unless they have 5 classes a day for BOTH semesters!! So it really doesn't matter if he already has nearly enough credits to graduate..he will have to stay and take ridiculous classes just to meet this new requirement!
