<<<<Clostridium difficile>>>> You're good! A tip of my hat to you. The point I wanted to make regarding C.diff is that it makes the argument for socialized medicine. Single payer, government backed health care. We worry and spend zillions in anticipation of a war with Iran and their terrorist - but completely ignore a terrorist bug that kills 30,000 this year - and next year and next year. AND it's only one of the resistant bugs that have targeted our well being. Iran is not a problem; if they try anything we can make them go away with one bombing run. Resistant bugs however have the danger of sending us back to the stone age. To the best of my understanding, Obama care does not address this. This morning I talked to a woman while standing in line at the bank. She had just got out of the hospital and my gosh was she a talker. She said when they took her to the hospital they immediately pumped in 5 different antibiotics all at the same time. She said she has got one bill from the hospital and it was for 13,000 dollars and she has many more bills coming. She had tears in her eyes when she said she had no way of paying these bills. Obamacare is not a solution to our health care needs. .........Sorry there are a few thoughts here that cross in the same post - but we need to address all these issues.
