I have a picture of my father's Grandmother born in 1875 above my desk. She is in a simple long dress with her hair pulled into a bun.

I have another picture of her in a horse drawn buggy with a babe in arms------long dress and a broadrimmed summer hat on her head-------and my Grandfather driving the horses----looking like a gunslinger(he owned a logging business.)

Grandma was an "herb doctor" traveling with her buggy and herbs to help people who were sick and to deliver babies---of course no license but she was known as the Herb Doctor. (This was when she wasn't having babies herself.)

So now the politicians are falling all over themselves to give us a complex and complicated "Universal Health Care" system.

And, here I sit using technology unthought of in 1875 when she was born.
