Well, the the things you don't always here

about. The people still living in FEMA trailers

is news to me. I wonder how many other

people out there are having difficulties that

most of us are not aware of.

Bunch more after today. Hurricane Wilma slammed us today. As of early
this morning, reports coming in from Key West said there was 3 foot of
water in the airport lobby due to the storm surge at high tide. Our
bridges are closed as are most schools and businesses.

I guess human suffering is clear and evident in
the land of the free... even to this day!

Technology and medicine are allowing us to

live longer lives, but how many of us can

afford it?

For instance, I just got out of the VA hospital

Tuesday after a several hour stay in the ER. I

was required to call the VA before calling 911

if I wanted my ambulance ride "paid for."

Bureaucratic bull****. That sucks.

As a veteran who was disabled while in the

service, I am being well taken care of,

Yea, well in my humble opinion, Bush should have increased your medical
bennies, not slashed them like he has done over the years.

but it

becomes my responsibility to know the ins and
outs of what the VA will and will not pay for,

and under what circumstances they will do it

in.

Luckily, my situation wasn't life and death, but

if it had been, calling the VA before calling 911
would be an ethical situation that could result

in much debate.

Yea, one that should never have arose in the first place.
