There is a very interesting opinion in the Wall Street Journal this morning that bears reading for anyone that is interested in both sides of the conversation on universal health care. I am reproducing key parts that I thought were most interesting. Click through to read the entire page.
As is obvious by Ms. Ulfik’s opinion, cancer patients should have a real concern about any change to their insurance and the way the “system” works. While the US may have a large number of uninsured, we lead the world in innovation within medical and pharmaceutical technology.
Every cancer patient needs these things, especially hope. But the government’s plan to reform the health-care system in this country threatens all of this—particularly the development of new treatments.
Three years later the lymphoma was back and I faced more chemo. This is so often the pattern of cancer: recurring disease and repeated chemo. In the end patients often die not from the disease, but from the treatments.

I was cracking up laughing as I explored the site There I Fixed It. I really enjoyed these two posts but it is a lot of fun just to scroll through the whole site.
An unusual way to use men’s underwear (and I would hate to know the waistline size)
For someone like me that flies fairly regularly, I think I would freak out if I saw this out my window – especially if we hit turbulence. What caused this – a bird?
For other great sites to peruse, be amused, laugh and learn a bit – check out Net-Cool. Their latest post on Breathtaking Moments is awesome!

Bill Maher is a relatively famous television personality. Of course, he got this position by correctly realizing that he wasn’t a very good standup comedian and his real talent was getting famous people on TV and then making fun of them or using them as foils to make a political point. He has bounced around a couple of different venues and has currently landed at HBO. His show is called “Real Time with Bill Maher”. He has used this notoriety and fame to also publish some of his remarks and is a frequent contributor to Huffington Post. His latest article is the subject of this post.
Originally, I only wanted to reply to Bill Maher in his comments section. However, Huffington Post limits comments to a small number of words so I am forced to make further comments here. You can read my original thoughts at this link as there are currently over 2500 comments on this article and it would be difficult to find mine. You may also want to read Bill’s original article before you read my comments.
