Tommy Douglas of Canada too. In terms of medicine and a few other matters that was a better era- the 1960s, rather than what we've endured since the 80s. It has to change.

Glad you're doing well thanks to Medicare services and your own perseverance. The wingers of course have wanted to abolish Medicare and Medicaid completely to rake in even more for the private sector. When does the greed stop! Take care and stay well.

PS I just learned that a friend had a stroke, too young for Medicare/SS and having a hell time. Just now I'm working on trying to get them some alternative help..
