I try to stay as neutral as possible politically on this site. I hate the way some bloggers push political agendas and/or rant on and on about personal political issues. But if you have followed this site at all over the past months you should have noticed I feel (as do most Americans) that our health care system is broken and needs to be fixed. Recently, I wrote about the difficulties I faced, as a cancer survivor, planning my eventual move to Florida because of health care related considerations. A step as simple as guaranteeing coverage to those of us with pre-existing conditions would go a long way toward making our already challenging lives better. Today I received an e-mail from the Obama campaign. For the record, Pattie and I both voted for President Obama. But neither of us donated money to his, or any other politicians campaign. Anyway, here is a link to the site asking me (and now I'm asking you) to write our representatives in support of health care reform:
Health Care Reform Initiative If you can find the strength and time, please let your representatives know how important it is for those of us with cancer to keep affordable health care coverage!
Feel good, keep smiling and don't get sick, because if you do you might not be able to get health insurance! Pat

We also got a letter from President Obama and we both sent in our remarks. Thanks for passing this on.It is very important. I am looking forward to reading your book as my son age 50 also has Multiple Myeloma. We are sorry you are moving but wish you well. Marilyn
Thank you! Moving can be (is!) stressful, but we are trying to embrace it as an adventure. But I'm not going anywhere permanantly anytime soon... I still need my day job selling real estate along the Wisconsin/Minnesota border. I will be "commuting" back and forth between Wisconsin and Florida for the foreseeable future- Pat
