When I heard this, I started crying. While our insurance companies are gorging themselves on the profits of our illness, while our doctors are rewarded for denying payment for life-saving procedures, the British have created an incentive program that is good for everyone and bad for no one. It is such an obvious choice that I cried with frustration.</I><BR/><BR/>I did the same thing. I couldn't believe it.

I'm sure a lot of powerful people actually DO care about the minions (maybe)."<BR/><BR/>Powerful people only care about minions when minions take the time to vote. If we don't take the time and educate ourselves, if we don't contact our representatives (which is easy-peasy - just a 2-minute phone call to the White House), then powerful people will care about the people who do.Well Wisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100221917170525655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962658856730849453.post-90766518149118416672007-07-03T10:43:00.000-05:002007-07-03T10:43:00.000-05:00"Lot of BS here, but I don't know if anywhere else..."Lot of BS here, but I don't know if anywhere else is better."<BR/><BR/>There are several places that I would call better.

That's my theory on how the higher ups see it.<BR/><BR/>I've heard a lot of people our age, our generation (including Llek & I) seriously question whether we want to keep living in this country.
