Health care "reform" is supposed to be shoved down our throats today. Now, I'm all for health care reform but having been in a business that worked with Medicare I can tell you the opportunity for abuse is there and the government has no sense of what they are doing. I'm still saddened that the President acted like he had learned a lesson about partisanship and is going to allow this bill to come through without a true vote. I'll all for change President Obama but not the kind of change that is forced on me by people who really don't know what they are doing.
Great quote I read this weekend, I believe attributed to Albert Einstein. "We all want to be on the mountaintop but nothing grows there." Isn't that the truth? We want to "ride the wave", to have a "mountaintop experience" and the experience of reaching a pinnacle is exhilarating but not much happens at the top. All the work, all the growing, all the pain needed to prepare us for the pinnacle is done at the base of the mountain, even in the valley between mountains. We need to be prepared for the fact that when we reach the mountaintop, we can't stay there long and will have to come back to where we started at some point and do it all over again. Our life with Christ is like that. We have moments of awakenings only to find that there are more awakenings ahead of us. We may feel like we are on top of the mountain one day but we'll have another mountain we have to climb soon and better beginning preparing for it. We cannot remain where nothing grows.
Grace and peace to you.

Yes, it distresses me to think that some government bureaucrat thinks that they know what's best for my family and most families.
I've dealt with government funded healthcare before in the dental arena and it is unsustainable in providing quality... ongoing quality... because it is static and too slow in dealing with previously unknowns and new innovations.
