I agree for certain. I have had my own doubts about Sarah Palin for President.

However, after seeing how honest she is actually, I see that she has a chance if she wanted it. Does she want it? The only way Sarah would want it is that if she saw that America needed her.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a spiritual person. I believe that Sarah is a spiritual person. It is different to be religious only. I feel that Sarah has a Faith in being Guided. If she was a mere politician, she would not have given up being a popular governor. She would have weathered that storm, paid her dues and legal fees. But she quit so soon that it could have slammed her into no man's land. When I read what her governor's page said, the words she had there, it made sense. She quit because her popularity and the backlash was taking money and time and energy away from her work and the work being done in her office. She sacrificed herself so that Alaska did not pay the bills for her legal battles and media battles.

I also monitored the Health Care media every morning. I was reading the daily press. I noticed that in the last some odd weeks, it became clear that the GOP/Blue Dog Dems were cooking up back room secret materials which they were preparing to spring on We the People. They never had any intent to operate a real government sponsored health care program. They were planning to thwart that from the start. The "secret plan" was secret because they were allowing Congress to play act their parts so that the drama would create a media spin again and again so that by the time their "secret plan" unfolded, they would release the plan as a compromise.

It is much like when BO was campaigning on his Single Payer Health Care Plan in 2008. His Health Care Plan was Republican to me then. I always thought he was a better Republican than a Democrat. He is like a Double Agent. I think that Sarah is right about the Universal Health Care Plan. BO was spouting that he could save money by cutting this and that.

Well... hum... my VA Medical Doctors gave me an expensive Nerve Medication that I researched on the internet. My monthly dosages would have cost me several hundred dollars per month. However, I wanted the VA to give me Chiropractic treatments. They only offer it if you have an acute musckuloskeletal injury. Mine is twenty years old. So, I finally found a Chiropractor, spent $400 per month for the summer months to go three times per week, and I stopped taking my Nerve Pain meds. Yes, I can get nerve pain when my back is out. Yes, my new chiro can fix it temporarily.

The cost of the chiro might be a hundred or so dollars higher. But the side effects of the medication are dizziness, memory loss, loss of sense of pain, confusion, emotionality... hello, I had that and more. I thought I was losing my mind. After stopping that medication, I can recall things again, I am not feeling like I am walking in a daze. I can drive again. I am not emotionally up and down being triggered all the time. So, the cost of the meds was not only money for medication but also the cost of my partner having to drive me around, remind me to eat and drink water and take a shower and remind me what day of the week it was and what to do and etc. I mean, now my partner has a life again.

There are millions and millions of people like myself who have chronic myofascial and nerve pain. Only the right kinds of message and chiropractic and light excercises affect it for me. But my VA Health Care which I receive full medical except for dental do not cover those. People are being disabled all over America because their coverage does not cover the therapies that they need to shift from severe and intense pain to moderate and mild pain.

I meet other Veterans who are pharmed out of their skulls. I mean, they receive all of the medications they can handle and more. But will the kind of Health Care O'brother is peddling going to heal or even help the majority of those who need Health Care?

O'boy is talking about his TWP Toots who had cancer. Not everyone has cancer. And, not every cancer is uncurable. There are known tests to prevent some cancers. The majority of health care issues are pain related. There are more types of pain than the general public are aware of. Going to the National Institute of Health and learning about the Chronic Pain Symposiums gave me a broader picture. The real health care issues are about dealing with a broad spectrum of pain, pain receptors.

For instance, there is an illness, a disorder, in which a damaged nerve system can cause a person to feel that they are being burned. The nerve receptors that sense burn sensation can be damaged. That person lives with a constant sense of being burned. Special medications needed to be tested on animals (disgusting as that idea is to me) so that scientists could determine how to focus on the nerve sites or receptors. I think they still do not understand it entirely.

I have more normal nerve damage. I have the kind of nerve damage where my nerves were severed and did not mend. They were stretched. After healing, I had tingling and electric like shocks running down my arm to fingers. After some years, I had twitching. So, I can be walking, talking, doing nothing and I get some intense shock in my hand. I might feel that momentarily or for several minutes or even hours. At times, my arm feels like I have a static electricity running through it. For twenty years, I dealt with it by isolating myself, getting a lot of alone time, meditating, talking walks by the ocean, sleeping, etc. But, it got to the point I could no longer handle it. It was the Hillary Campaign. I had lost so much sleep that I could no longer catch up and manage my pain. And, No I am Not Exagerating. But my point is that I went to my VA Doctors finally, after 15 years of boycotting the VA Health Care System. And, they gave me a nerve medication that turned off the tingling and electrical shocks. In exchange, I lost my memory and mind. But I learned that medication had evolved and was still not yet perfect but in a pinch, I can use my meds to stop the pain.

Now, after I spent the last year researching my own pain issues, I learned that the real health crisis we have in America is not the Elderly or Cancer sufferers. The Real American Health Crisis are the Average Americans who Live with Chronic but Not Deadly Conditions that require Health Care.
