Our Friends Deserve Better!


At one point in our lives a friend of mine and I used to go on shopping excursions in the city of Oklahoma. We always had a wonderful time whatever we did together. We were practically joined at the hip. Now I live in NY and she lives in a much colder state. She has a lot of health issues the least of which is not her osteo- arthritis. However, she has many other debilitating problems.

Why on earth in these United States of America aren't all the states united in pricing, civil rights, and the right to good health coverage? Which brings me back to my girlfriend. She can't g
et any dental coverage. In her state; if you don't have a credit card or plenty of cash you don't get treated. The disabled people and old folk have to fight like crazy to get proper medical help there. This is the case in many states.

The best thing that the present government could do is to find some cojones, take the most progressive ideas from those states that have good laws, combine, refine, define, and pass them as rules that each state must follow. If done properly everyone would have nice teeth, good health care, glasses, a decent place to live, and more than sufficient food. Why do the politicians in this country have to complicate everything so much and when they say they want to serve the people then why the hell don't they?

Well that is another two cents from yours truly. Please comment if you wish.

About Me

My photo
R. D. Shultz
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
I am a mother of three, grandmother of three, and a full-time Writer in Ontario, Canada. My mission is to enable others to make a nice income while enjoying their work; as well as doing the same for myself. I have written poetry and short stories since childhood and some have been published. I enjoy writing articles, copy and other online projects. Prior to moving to the United States, I was a social worker and sociologist for over 20 years in Canada. I am now back in Canada, completely downsized; residing in a room with kitchen privileges. The downsizing occurred ultimately as a result of the death of some loved ones and bad planning. Thanks to God for long friendships and loving, caring, friends! I live here with my precious Pomeranian, Dylan; near Toronto. At least I don't have very much housecleaning! :)
