So now I'm a...socialist???

Something I feel very strongly about is healthcare. I really feel that everyone should have equal chance at the same healthcare, regardless of social or financial situation. I loudly voiced my opinion on Twitter and now apparently I am labelled as a socialst! Well I'm sorry! If not wanting people to have to lose their homes or worse yet DIE just because they can't afford to pay a doctor makes me socialist? Well then paint me red because I just really feel it's what's right!

Kanye West's song "roses" says:
"Tell her everything gone be fine?

But i'd be lying, the family crying
They want her to live, and she trying
I'm argueing like what kind of doctor can we fly in
You know the best medicine go to people thats paid,
If Magic Johnson got a cure for A.I.D.S.
And all the broke muthafuckers past away
You tellin me if my grandma was in the N.B.A.
Right now she'd be ok?
But since she was just a secretary
Working for the church
For thirty five years
Things sposed to stop right here?"


It's so true!!! Why does a millionaire deserve better healthcare than the average person? Why do people have to chose between health and a home? Life, death or bankruptcy? Knowing that money is the #1 stresser, and knowing that stress makes people sick? Why would you EVER equate financial status with healthcare?


Yes people can buy health insurance. How about when their treatments are not covered because the company just "doesn't feel comfortable" with the procedure?


I myself have had to have MRI's, X-rays, CT scans and other various diagnostics done on me. If I lived in the States? No way I could have even afforded to have that done to find out what was wrong with me. Even if I could somehow have scraped together enough to cover those tests? The treatments? NO WAY could I have paid for that.


People say that the government has no place in the healthcare system? Well i say we are supposed to trust our government to take care of us. Isn't that what they are there for? To..oh...I don't know...GOVERN things? I don't feel that they are incompetent when it comes to healthcare matters. On the contrary, I can sleep at night knowing that if something happend to my family (God forbid) tomorrow, I wouldn't have to choose between whether they could see a doctor or I could pay my mortgage. I know that if I get sick? I will be able to see the same Doctor as the richest person in Canada because when it comes to our health and the level of care? No one CARES how much you make. All the want to do is get you healthy.


How is that a bad thing? I just don't understand!!! And you say I am the one who's brainwashed? Come on now.

Weight Loss update

So I joined a Gym!!! I have been going a few times a week for the past few weeks and I am feeling GREAT! I hope this will boost my weightloss so that I don't have to pretend like I didn't say I would keep you all updated on my weight loss anymore!!! First weigh in tomorrow morning. Send me good vibes k?

WATCH YOUR KIDS!!!

What is wrong with people? I see so many young kids playing unsupervised and riding their bikes alone at WAY too young an age. If you don't have time to watch your kids? You shouldn't have them.

News flash? It's 2010 not 1955, people will steal your children. unfortunately there are a lot more sickos and perverts out there. Why would you risk your child's safety so you can vacuum your livingroom that no one even goes in 600 times a day?

This brings me back to my theory that people should have to get a liscence to have kids. Not everyone is a suitable parent. It's those neglegant parents that make a lot of these sickos because they are starved of affection and attention. If you don't have the time or patience to do a proper job? DON'T HAVE KIDS! they are not trophies, they are not slaves to clean your house, they are not babysitters that should take care of each other. They are KIDS, they need love, they need TIME, they need rules and boundries and they need fun that is safe and supervised.

This isn't rocket science people it's common sense.

Oops!

Sorry I have been so absent everyone, this has been a crazy month. My husband, my oldest daughter and I all has strep throat.Today my husband thinks he has it again and my baby now has a cold. It particularily sucks since I can't give her anything to feel better. Steam baths, humidifier, saleen rinsing her nose, that is about it. 

Of course it comes at a terrible time as today is one of our best friend's 30th birthday and dinner party for it. I think I may be flying solo at the party. Oh well at least it's at the house of our besties and not some obscure relation. It'll be way fun either way.

I just wish I knew why we have such crappy immune systems. We eat healthy, we excercise, we sleep (for the most part). Luck O' the draw I guess.

Anyways, I am sorry for neglecting my blog. I hope you understand why.

No my name ain't baby
