  1. Years ago I was going thru a situational depression. The first anti-depressant the doc put me on put me in zombie mode. I am pretty sure while on that medication had I been hit by a bolt of lightening I would not have felt it! I talked to the doc - changed meds - and didnt feel like a zombie anymore. Please have your friend visit the doc again and talk about zombie mode and ask about med change. :)
  2. “According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 46 million Americans, or 18 percent of the population under the age of 65, were without health insurance in 2007, their latest data available.” That's what the National Coalition on Health Care says here: NCHC | Facts About Healthcare - Health Insurance Coverage Who is the NCHC? The Coalition’s cochairmen are a former Republican governor and a former Democratic member of the U.S. Congress; its honorary cochairs are former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. Look here : National Coalition on Health Care So... hopefully this will help with any percentage issues on who doesn't have Health Care. This appears to be a nonpartisan group offering real data - I cut/pasted the info above. Before people start slicing the 18% into groups of people who don't 'deserve' or 'need' Health Care, I'd like to remind you what forum you are in. This is a forum based on religion. I am not LDS, but I have to think? / hope? / guess? that somewhere there is a tenant about compassion and helping others? Or is compassion only to be done when it's convenient... or doesn't cost you anything? There is a thread currently (sortof) concerning itself with the Health Care debate here: http://www.lds.net/forums/general-discussion/24383-canadian-health-care-will-kill-you.html I did not want to post in that thread because I look at the issue as a moral one. I found the other thread more of a Repub vs Demo debate lacking compassion or morality (honestly, I found it a bit too snarky for me). I would like to toss out the suggestion that this is a moral issue and ask the questions: How far would you go to help someone you don't know that will never tell you 'Thank you'? Does your faith make you want to help to insure that person, or rather not and make that person more self-reliant somehow? I am asking how YOU FEEL, so please keep your answer about yourself and your feelings and not attack another's posting. Snarky free zone please. :)
