my favorite christian along with my daughter in law who has completed my family. both of you bringing joy to my life by merely being near.
i emailed shawn and asked him to say hello. did he or did you know i was thinking about you.
"Why do you go against the goad my friend." i don't know any goad so if i went against the goad, it was unintentional.
both toby and i have been under socialized health care, she for 8 years and me for 12 years. it's called medicare. my personal doctors, and at our ages, we have need for specialists from incontinents
to heart, to knee, to shoulder to brain, and the doctors and we seem to have been able to do whatever is best for our health and well being..
i look forward and hope for everyone to have the same socialized medical insurance, invented by bismark in germany.
the actual complaint of the worker is the insecurity of his existence; he is unsure if he will always
have work, he is unsure if he will always be healthy and he can predict that he will reach old age and be unable to work. If he falls into poverty, and be that only through prolonged illness, he will find himself totally helpless being on his own, and society currently does not accept any responsibility towards him beyond the usual provisions for the poor, even if he has been working all the time ever so diligently and faithfully. The ordinary provisions for the poor, however, leaves a lot to be desired
Otto von Bismarck, 20.03.1884
Health Insurance Bill of 1883
The first bill that had success was the Health Insurance bill, which was passed in 1883. The program was considered the least important from Bismarck’s point of view, and the least politically troublesome. The program was established to provide health care for the largest segment of the German workers. The health service was established on a local basis, with the cost divided between employers and the employed. The employers contributed 1/3rd, while the workers contributed 2/3rds . The minimum payments for medical treatment and Sick Pay for up to 13 weeks were legally fixed. The individual local health bureaus were administered by a committee elected by the members of each bureau, and this move had the unintended effect of establishing a majority representation for the workers on account of their large financial contribution. This worked to the advantage of the Social Democrats who through heavy Worker membership achieved their first small foothold in public administration.
of course bismark was not a nazi, the term didn't get started until
Nazism, officially in German as National Socialism, refers to the ideology and practices of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party or NSDAP under Adolf Hitler, and the policies adopted by the dictatorial government of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.
Nazism is often considered by scholars to be a form of fascism. While it incorporated elements from both left and right-wing politics, the Nazis formed most of their alliances on the right.
sorry about the lecture friend, but most old people, were it not for social security, would not get old.
the VA is also a government run health care system and in spite of some of it's failings in certain cases, it is accepted and approved of by most veterans.
i hope you and your family are healthy, and grow wiser and prosper.
