Well done - through the various viewpoints of the characters we get why fear still drives our decisions in setting the debate on health care. Will we join the community of nations who know a healthy nation is strong, compassionate and caring. We can not settle for less - a public option is key!

I noticed that I gave the 'wrong opinion' of this book. For that I apologize.
BUT- This book was inspiring, and so true.
Where this country goes on the health care issue, I don't know.
It seems the adminstration and congress have no idea what they are doing, or where they are going.

If 2000+ pages of the 'latest' billdo anything, what will. Also, How many 'earmarks' are tacked on to this bill?

I have one thing to my advantage, I am 81 years old. I seriously don't think that tha administration or congress will ever come up with a health plan.
It's a sorry state of affairs that this nation could be so stupid, but there again, the 'elected officials are just looking out for themselves and to hell with anyone else.
It's time for these dolts to get off their butts, and do something constructive.

I enjoyed how the vivid and powerful descriptions weaved together a blanket of real human conditions and various stages of illnesses that tied together flawlessly at the end. The "buzzing" seemed to accumulate and mass upon his subconcious until he answered the call. I wonder what he'll say...

Great job!

God Bless,

This was a great multi-dimensional view of the state of the health care debate in the US. I liked how you showed the sick patients' views, the doctors money issues and the pharmaceutical industry representative. Your detailed vocabulary is superb!

I enjoyed reading your story. Keep up the good work!

Hi Robin,
I'm really glad to hear that! I wanted to present the healthcare debate in as unbiased a way as possible, because it really is a very complex issue. I do have my own strong preferences...there are hints of this here and there, though. ;)

...(I found it hidden away in a drawer).
I felt this was very well thought-out, and presented in a way that left me guessing which way is right (or left?)...

A well written, deep piece which I hope led to others seeing the importance of our health plan covering our needs. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good job!!! =-)

Thank you all for your comments! Jene and James: I really enjoyed your stories and thought they were well-written, so I appreciate the positive comments. Jesse37215: I'm not quite sure how the healthcare debate is weird, but I appreciate your feedback.
