We are now in the new place.

I wish I could sit here and smile happily, but as usual, when one issue eases, another steps up to the number one slot. I have not slept worth a crap in days because I keep waking up with my arms in pain from poor circulation. I guess it won't be long now. With Healthcare now a pervue solely for the wealthy, I have no chance of seeking help for it. I cannot afford to even see my GP.

Insurance? Don't make me laugh. Again, that is a plaything of the rich. My so called insurance is just another pipeline for them to milk us for more money while doing as little as possible in return. (We are a capitalist nation, after all!)

So, we will see how long this lasts. It never rains, but it floods.

1. Delay, Defend and Deny, the 3 Ds of insurance

When McKinsey Comes to Town. The world’s most powerful consulting firm no one has heard of.

5. Yep.

'For profit heathcare' should be illegal. So should those who support and encourage that practice.

But, that's just the opinion of someone who is being fleeced by them...

10. We spend way more on health care than any

other civilized county, yet we are 48th in life expectancy.

[OldBaldy1701E]

11. And, very few actually blink at this.

The programming worked.

2. I'm so sorry. I hope your health improves, soon. Hugs to you. 💙💙💙

[OldBaldy1701E]

6. Thanks.

Everyone's support and encouragement has really helped me through this.

I am sometimes without words to express how grateful I am.

3. I hope now that you're moved in you can give your arms a rest.

Do you have a lot of unpacking to do?

[OldBaldy1701E]

7. On a scale of one to ten...

I'd say our unpacking falls around thirty.



(So much stuff. Memories and minutae.)

4. Be sure that you are taking in enough liquid, i.e., water day & night.

As an aging senior, I have found that tingling in my fingers and feet is stopped when I take even a smallish amount of water or other liquid.
I have tended to cut back somewhat in recent years re liquid intake, plus my circulation is likely poorer, resulting in resulting in tingling in extremities, especially when sleeping.
Good luck!

[OldBaldy1701E]

8. Yeah, I have to keep reminding myself.

I always struggle to stay properly hydrated.

Stubborn old farm boy, I am...

9. (((Hugs)))💙💙💙. Life is hard. It just is.

[OldBaldy1701E]

12. I respectfully disagree.

Life is made hard. It doesn't have to be this way. We just think it does.

The programming worked.

[LiberalLoner]

13. I'm so sorry. I was thinking of all the physical illnesses we suffer, etc. 💙💙💙

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Oh, I agree totally.

But, the suffering and all that would be much less if our society was more... interested in people than paper.

[LiberalLoner]

15. You are very correct! I wish our society were much more fair. It makes me sad and angry that it's not.

[OldBaldy1701E]

16. As my favorite entity 'Q' once said...

"Fairness is such a HUMAN concept!"

Yeah, and we would be so much more as a species and as a people if we practiced more of it!
