Hello,
My name is Neville, male, divorced.
My children have grown up and deserted the nest. Don't worry though I wont molest anybody, my ethics prevents me doing anything that will offend others, therefore I don't invade other peoples territory. My blogs are about Christianity, animals, Pets, free Training information where possible, ancient history. I'm not a staunch Christian therefore I don't preach but, I believe in the one God our father in heaven the creator of the universe everything within it, King of Kings, Lords of Lords. I fully accept (Immanuel)Jesus Christ as My Savior, who suffered on the cross to save me from my sins, He Lives.

In the latest edition of "Health Care Meltdown," author C. Rocky White identifies himself as "a conservative Republican who has always held an entrepreneurial 'pull yourself up by your own bootstraps' free-market philosophy." A longtime physician, White describes "the frustration I began to experience while trying to provide compassionate, quality health care in the context of a market in which the accustomed rules of business economics don't apply."
Dr. White immersed himself in research on health-care policy and finance. Then he pored through reams of the latest data on the tradeoffs of reform options. "No matter how I turned the cube," he writes, "the answer never changed. That answer was nearly impossible for me, a free-market Republican, to accept."
Here are Dr. White's two key conclusions in his own words:
* "Until we remove the motive of profit from the financing of health care, we cannot and we will not resolve our current health care crisis."
* "Any group that proposes reform policy that maintains the use of for-profit insurance companies in a so-called free market is being driven by one single motive -- to protect the golden coffers of their share of the $2 trillion cash cow!"
Dr. White adds: "To continue down this road is paramount to suggesting that we privatize our fire and police services and turn them into for-profit organizations. You do that and people will die -- just like they are dying now under our current health-care system!"
Grotesquely, the insurance and hospital industries at the center of health care in the United States are, in effect, profiting from priorities that condemn many people to death and many more to avoidable suffering.
Meanwhile, corporate enterprises continue to make a killing from U.S. military expenditures now in the vicinity of $2 billion per day.
During a wartime speech in 1969, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist George Wald said: "Our government has become preoccupied with death, with the business of killing and being killed."
The preoccupation continues.
"When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people," Martin Luther King observed, "the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."
Still, somehow, this madness must cease.
