I've just started my own MS blog, www.msfriend.com, after having another relapse and being frustrated with having to stop working again. <BR/><BR/>I can relate to all the nonsense with the US healthcare industry, since I of course am not insured on my own, and my husband's insurance is from his small (less than 35 people) company. We pay over $600/month for just the 2 of us, and our copays are still $30 each. I can't tell you how much I've spent in copays alone in the past two months of this relapse. I just thank goodness that we have coverage at all, and that it does cover the expense of my Betaseron.<BR/><BR/>I also wrote an article about "Sicko" on my Women's Health site after it came out, because I got so angry about health coverage here: <BR/><BR/>http://neurologicalillness.suite101.com/article.cfm/quotsickoquot_delivers<BR/><BR/>Take care----I look forward to reading more from you and other MS bloggers.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Jen, MS FriendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-25867978163887972022008-02-25T12:47:00.000-05:002008-02-25T12:47:00.000-05:00To be cut!

He got his 2 cents in about our health care fiasco. Your story moved him and added more flame to his fire, on screen or not.

When I lived in Reston I lived off of Glade Drive over by Lake Audubon. The last time I was in Reston was a few years ago and I hardly recognized parts of it!Miss Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731458343222525114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-87737396436963498282008-02-24T16:10:00.000-05:002008-02-24T16:10:00.000-05:00I'm impressed!

Seems that those who are secure in great health care plans with no major illness just don't get it. They will only wake up when it hits home. Thanks for all you do.Mandy Cresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205457525029636882noreply@blogger.com
