Catch-Up Time

I’ve been mostly gone since mid-day Friday to a get-together of Kansas Democrats in Topeka. The big speaker was President Clinton. My mom’s best friends asked me to go with her when my mom decided she was just not feeling up to the trip. So with being-helpful-to-family as my excuse, I could justify the expense (of both money and energy.) And I’m glad I did!

The first half of his speech was built on the themes of An Inconvienent Truth, which I finally saw last weekend. The second half was about Health Care and the growing crisis.

It turns out President Clinton could answer at least one of my Seven Questions:

5. Is everyone in your family currently covered by comprehensive insurance?

It turns out, his childhood best friend wasn’t covered when he got cancer. And the President and other friends got together and saw to it that their friend got the treatment he needed in spite of the lack of insurance. And it seemed like the experience stuck.

He was pretty riled up about Insurance companies and the amount of money that goes to their profits.

My question is, does his wife feel the same way about these issues?
