THE WORLD AS IT TURNS TODAY
A Typhoon has hit Taiwan, the worst flooding than in the past 50
years. Mainland China is next in its path of destruction.
......
Plane/Helicopter crash and into the Hudson River, New York, all 9
people die.
......
President of South Africa and Hillary Clinton meet and talk about
all kinds of things, hoping it will be a stepping stone of good
for all the African continent. Clinton will visit other nations
in Africa.
......
An history making event as the first Hispanic woman goes on the
USA Supreme Court. She is a liberal and replaces a liberal, so
what else is new in this "liberal" world?
......
Europe protests against Iran for putting on trial two of its
people.
......
Baby born 16 weeks premature is pronounced dead, no heart beat
detected. Parents take home and prepare for burial. As the mother
takes the baby out of the cardboard box to dress it for burial,
the baby cries and moves. 4 hours went by since birth. Baby is
back in the hospital in an incubator, doing okay.
......
40 years ago the music group "The Beatles" had their now famous
"zebra crossing" photo taken in London. A big party is under way
to remember that historic photo.
......
Obama is still pushing for national medical plan; he's having a
battle.
I will give you one side of personal experience. I was living and
working for this Podiatrist in Florida in 1993/94 as his on staff
"shoe and orthotic" maker. He was married with two children. He
had to pay $750 a month for medical coverage for his family, with
a $1,000 deductible (he paid the first $1,000). Now that was his
case then. Sounded to me like a national medical plan was needed.
Like a good part of the population I had no private coverage of
anything, I'm sure it would have been out of my means to have
any, for what I was getting for a pay check, so I took the chance
you might say, as I was not planning to stay in the USA on any
life-time goal.
Sure the Canadian system may not be 100 per cent perfect in its
National Medical system, but it sure beats $750 a month payment
for a family to be insured with $1,000 deductible.
