Ah, what the hell, have the last part early. Really early. Also, Erin has news: "Business licenses have been procured and I am in the process of designating Project Erin as a non-profit organization. This last week has made me realize no one deserves to have this experience of fighting for a place in a health care system that doesn't want to ensure ( Read more... )

I don't have words for how much it boggles the mind that she (Erin) needs to be rich to get the treatment she should have free of charge.

I've been reading Steven Brust's journal and seen how he has to declare personal bankrutcy because of medical bills and...it really makes my blood boil, you know.

When I moved back to Norway (which is, arguably, the richest country in the world), I was horrified to find that we (the Norwegians, that is) had instituted client-payment for medical attention. Although, to be fair, the amount you have to pay tops at ca. $275 pr. household, and covers both visits at the doctor as well as medication ( ... )
