I got a couple of facts out of what I heard but not much, so I decided to look around the net and find the plan itself. I was going to read it line by line and then translate it to English.

I thought I did find it, but most of it was lawyer speak. You know, blah, blah, blah, and a little bit of truth or fact. OK I thought, maybe that’s all there is to it. Yet now I’m still reading articles in the news about it and or parts of it are still being debated.

So did anything get passed? If so what and where can we read about it?

This story is not exactly new. I wrote about this a couple months ago. It’s a shame that women are being told not to bother with breast cancer tests all for the matter of money. Of course to the insurance companies it’s more important to save some bucks than womens lives.

I’m not a doctor but if you were to ask me my advice would be to talk it over with your doctor and put yourself first. If you are in a high risk group get tested. I still think, no I know it would end up being less expensive to catch cancer and treat it early rather than to let it get to the advanced stage and try to treat it.

The groups are saying that they are taking money to recoup their expenses. Does the city council of Los Angeles not understand this concept?

I’m sure the groups put out money for rent or mortgage on their locations not to mention utilities like water, heat, and light. Maybe they would also like to be paid for their time. I’m sure they in turn need money for their own bills and rent.

Those who are for it will make it work somehow, and those who are against it will always find stupid reasons why it should remain illegal.

People in California and indeed all over the country are watching this case closely.

It’s too bad that the folks who are so against this don’t have to watch a loved one suffer as bad as my father did when he died of cancer last December. If they went through what I did, they would certainly ask for any mercy drug that would make the dying process easier.

My dad had cancer, but what did he really die from? He could not eat nor drink the last week or two of his life. I think some medical marijuana would have made it better.

It’s as stupid as when the lethal injection is given and they wipe down the area where the shots are to be given with alchohol to prevent infection. What does it matter? The convict will be dead long before the infection would show itself.

People should just really mind their own and their families business, instead of playing God with everyone else’s lives.

The DEA couldn’t even give the reason for the raid and the removal of virtually all plants, grow lights, and marijuana, just saying that the reason is under “the courts seat”, and that it’s suspected of violating state or federal law.

Maybe the DEA should busy itself trying to stop the crack and coke that flood our neighborhoods and destroy peoples lives.  People, get your priorities in order!

The drug companies are starting to feel it now too by losing profits. So sorry for them, but the main concern is the person who needs a medication to live and has to risk their lives by having to choose between food and meds. I don’t have the answer but someone needs to come up with something. I think everyone has a responsibility to take care of their own health matters, however there are so many who have done everything right and the way they were supposed to but have now fallen through the cracks, unable to help themselves any longer.

There is a lot of talk lately about whether medical care and medications are a right or a responsibility. I believe that a person who fufilled their responsibilities throughout life, now has a right to at least the minimum of care.

This legislation is mainly aimed at abortion, however it may have far reaching arms into areas like stem cell research, sterilization, and other care.

There have been legislation’s on this matter since the 1970’s, however it has not been enforced. The enforcement will consist of withholding funding to hospitals and clinics that employ workers who refuse to do their jobs and face consequences for it.

This would even include workers who sterilize operating instruments for a procedure they find objectionable.

With the last legislation leaving little doubt that they believe anything that interferes with a fertilized egg is abortion, they have pretty much set back woman’s health care to the back alley ages. Congratulations.

We’ll be tackling the tough issues of Universal Health Care, elderly care, baby boomers, and importantly enough … how to pay for it all.
