Re: [QUAD-L] (no subject)
Interesting project. Wish you loads of luck. Perfect Environment, may not be achievable. Why? Because no two people/quads are alike. Hence the perfect environment for you could be 180 degrees different from me. And who is more important. (just kidding) Shepherd Hospital, in Atlanta has a good working model program and you should consider your venture with their guidance down there. It may not work as well in Minneapolis with 10 inches of snow, as it does in Atlanta. I'm also sure that Craig Hospital, RIC and Kessler Hospital also have successful working models in their areas. Perfection, cost money. To consolidate the resources, one finds the nursing home answer as the best, lol. I'm hoping to learn from your experiences and hope that you have the time to continue to let us know about your achievable goals and how successful you are.

Myron, you are preaching to the choir, and I support your idea. Capital comes from the government spending, not private investors. Those supplying the money can direct it any way or take it away and spend nothing. Too many smoking mirrors from the past. Granted, its a great idea. Flaws are inherent with that idea.

Got news for you. Life isn't fair or free. This ISN'T a socialist nation. It doesn't sound like your living in a cardboard box or starving. In some other countries most of the population does. Is life hard? Hell yes, but a lot of people today have somehow got the idea that it's somebodies responsibility to provide for them. Guess what? It's not. I served our country during Nam, and since my accident almost 12 yrs ago, the VA has taken good care of me (much better than 8 yrs ago). If I had children, they too would be getting healthcare. So I'll go along with your thought that every-able bodied citizen should have to serve the community in some form for at least 2 yrs. The rich already pay over 37% in income taxes (unless you're the klintons who somehow mange to pay almost nothing on their $ 40,000,000 (don't just take my word for it, check it out yourself) The top 10% already pay 90% of the taxes. However, DRUG COMPANIES, HMO's, and many perscription drug plans are hosing us. I have to pay that monthly drug fee even though I'm lucky to get my scripts from the VA for nothing, so instead of complaining about that mo payment, I figure it helps keep other peoples payments lower. We lose over 20% of our Medicade dollars to illegal aliens The Democrats pushed NAFTA through and gave China most favored trade status. Guess where our manufacturing base went? Along with the jobs, the tax base was loss. The Liberals won't let States use Cons for hard labor, we sure could free up a lot of tax dollars letting them build roads. I've been an INDEPENDENT since 1976. I've long held that lawyers being politicians was a monopoly and a conflict of interest. Ohio has PROBLEMS, been hearing about them for years now. Medicaare and Medicaid varies from State to State. I know IL gets better services than IN, but I can't see living there just because of it. (and I'm ~ 12mi from the state line), can't stand their left winged politics. Being poor in the USA is better off than over 1/3rd of the worlds population. We're far better off than Americans during the great deression OR WWII. BTW, you ought to check for utility assistence through your County trustee, and shop around for a dif drug provider.
