Friday Fish Wrap: 28 August 2009
Friday, August 28, 2009 at 20:00 What a week. I thought we’d never get home last night, getting stuck in Salt Lake City from about 4ish to well after nine-ish, when the flight pushed back from the gate. The good news: liquor is now available in the Salt Lake airport. I never would have guessed it could happen. No more of that old sneaking around, paying $5 for a ‘private club fee’.
I’d been down to Houston, Texas and the University of Texas, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center for my annual cancer check up. Everything seems to be good, but under the heading of “be careful what you say” when the the worlds best cancer doctorsask “do you have any other issues?”, I have to go back down there next month for an MRI or CT of my brain.
We just want to make sure that my brain - such as it is - doesn’t have cancer colored brain cells. Silly putty colored brain cells are acceptable, as are Martini colored brain cells.
But first, I need to call the insurance company to see whether or not I’ll get stuck - like the last time - with a very expensive test that they refuse to pay for. Hmmmm. Does that sound like health care rationing to you? It does to me.
And, on that note …
There’s another deceptive, fear mongering ad by The League of American Voters to derail health care reform. Watch ‘Leading the Fight to Stop Obama Care.’
