(21,210 posts)and happy to hear you had wonderful support from the HC system in your country.
HC was The Main issue last election and many people wanted a full discussion from our elected leaders, but as you know that did not happen.
Those who wanted a full discussion were literally left at the gates of the WH, I cannot blame the Repubs for silencing the issue when we had control of the conversation ... our party played a role.
To solely blame the other party would be dishonest IMHO.
I could say more, but I'll be brief in my comments as to the HC discussions during the time when it really mattered. They were horrible and mostly slated to benefit the for profit companies.
In the not too distant future I could be facing the same loss, my husband just had a second allogeneic bone marrow transplant for acute leukemia. The past five years have been challenging, we have had to move twice for financial reasons, on some level I can only imagine that played a role on his immune system. I wish we had a better HC system in the US where finances did not play a major role.
Again I a truly sorry for your loss, but I would be remiss if I did not speak up for all those who fought and were marginalized by this administration when HC was the number one issue in the country.
Wishing you peace and good memories in the tough times ahead.
