A Case for Universal Health Care - From Real Life, Not Theory

Melissa at Permission to Live wrote a very good piece about her experience with government run health care while living in Canada.  It's from the perspective of her real life experience, rather than theory spouted as talking points from politicians who have no clue what they are talking about.

My favorite line in this article:

"I found out that religious rights were still respected. The Catholic hospital in the area did not provide abortions, and they were not required too."

Just like you wouldn't take any marital or child-rearing advice from Bill Gothard (who has never been married or had any kids), nor would you take advice from Mickey Mouse on how to sing bass, listening to a book-learned individual about real, day to day experiences that he or she has never lived through, should be avoided at all costs.

Give it a read!

How I Lost My Fear of Universal Health Care

An Important Goog Hit on This Blog That Needs Answering

Today, I received the following hit to Incongruous Circumspection from the Goog:

"Are Permission to Live and Incongruous Circumspection married?"

I'll save you some research.  No.  We are not married.  I am married to a beautiful woman named, Kristine.  On the other hand, while Permission to Live is also gorgeous in her own right, she is happily married to someone else.  Our families are good friends and the bonds of that friendship have been growing stronger more recently.

Now, if that disappoints you, I'm not too worried about it.  There is only one woman in this world that could even come close to handling all of my personalities and I have already lassoed the moon for her.

And that's a wrap.
