Our blood tests (just the labs for cross match) for kidney donation cost $3500 for EACH donor. I guess we'd just get shoved aside since we have well met our quota.carebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17035056284371717970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919858889505423494.post-6731905670350558082009-08-04T12:48:54.552-05:002009-08-04T12:48:54.552-05:00I just happened upon your blog (for the first time...I just happened upon your blog (for the first time) today. Needless to say, I will now bookmark you. This entry couldn't have been written any better. I hope your OB/GYN reads your blog, and inparticular, this entry.

Hooray!<br /><br />I am sooo afraid for my children's futures, I can't even go there. My friend lives in Britan, and she has a distant friend who was dx'ed with cancer, and needed surgery to live more than 6 months...but wouldnt' be approved or available for surgery for 2 years. Funny, huh? (not at all!) We have a high deductable policy, and doesn't doesn't cover much, but WE are in control of the decision making- not the government!<br /><br />One question: NO government (republican or democrat) had proven to me that they can be 100% responsible with my tax payer dollars. WHY would we want to give them more?!?!?!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472478935210732116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919858889505423494.post-2516958045020922322009-08-02T23:28:11.519-05:002009-08-02T23:28:11.519-05:00Good for you!

I totally agree with you. Do I have an answer for our country...no! I don't like comfrontation but I do know that I have reached the British cap each year...amazing how other countries deal with their health system! <br /><br />No system is perfect but I chose to vote no to universal health care!<br />~ElyseElysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100019358485843850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919858889505423494.post-40222415979997739402009-08-02T21:26:12.801-05:002009-08-02T21:26:12.801-05:00Its nice to hear someone stand up for what they th...Its nice to hear someone stand up for what they think!

Speaking out and letting the Government know we are NOT GOING to give up our freedoms is the only way to save this great country and OUR AMAZING HEALTH CARE system.
