A slight retraction regarding healthcare
Some political issues I understand better than others. I think it's pretty safe to say healthcare isn't one of them. My post the other day regarding healthcare wait times more than likely showed my ignorance of what was being discussed at the healthcare summit thingie this week.
When I think of healthcare waiting times, the first thing that comes to mind is the crowded emergency rooms, but that's not what was being discussed by the feds and provs (feds and provs, I like that). Now that I've read up on it a bit more, the issue is waiting times for surgery. Bah! I'll go get the pliers and try removing my foot from my mouth.
Personally, I think the dimwit politicians aren't going to find a solution in the next few years, let alone in just a few days. However, I am interested in reading the reports regarding the summit, which ended yesterday. My guess is they spent those three or four days arguing, tabling ideas and then not getting anywhere. ... Oh, how I know those types of meetings.
On another note, I've been having some weird computer problems this morning on my laptop. I was kind of "late" for work because my laptop wouldn't boot up properly. A pain in the ass, for sure, and this type of thing happens about once or twice a month. I really wish I could afford to buy a new laptop, but no dice there.
