Healing Health Care

Problem:

We all get sick. We go to doctors. We go to hospitals. Hopefully we get better, and soon. But sometimes we don’t get decent answers. Sometimes we get answers we can barely stand. Sometimes we get answers we can’t afford.

Well, we’ve got some answers of our own.

 

Make Progress:

My old man was a probation officer. My mom a phys. ed. teacher. Both were unionized, and in part because of this, they both had almost ridiculously excellent family health care. Growing up, I had regular check-ups, vaccinations, trips to the dentist and ophthalmologist, and both my sister and I had braces, all covered.

For my money, it’s hard to pursue happiness if you’re sick all the time (even more so if you’re, say, five years old), or if you’re worried about doctor’s bills racking up, or if your teeth are rotting despite your best flossing and fluoridating efforts. And kids should always be able to receive more than adequate health care.

While most of us aren't doctors, we can help the health of those around us (and even ourselves). So let's, not eat, but pick four apples today.
