Healthcare

At 83 years old, I tend to be more concerned about my health as I notice that the rope is getting mighty short. Although I look forward to being with The Lord, my preoccupation seems to be more about extending what little time I have left. It seems that I have  many things left to accomplish so that my passing will not be burdensome to my family. I lie in bed and plan projects that need to be completed and when I arise my morning chores (breakfast, TV news, check email, review Facebook, devotions, check yard for watering, ride bike for 20 minutes, morning nap) have left me with too little time squeeze in any planned project. I just need a little more time.

Getting back to the subject of this treatise, the word healthcare has taken on a myriad of meanings to those in government and the media. The most prevalent is it's use as a replacement of health insurance when discussed in Congress and in advertising by political parties. It seems that many feel that I should participate in paying for others health CARE through the use of taxpayers money. It appears to be the trend in the United States to use taxpayers dollars to support a large segment of the population in many areas of needs or wants. That will work until taxpayers money runs out. Then we will be like Venezuela today. I am distressed to conclude that is the future of our country. Caring for the medical needs of the population has become the largest industry in the country when one takes into account all the companies and people involved who see an unlimited flow of dollars coming from Washington, D.C.
