I would like to add that I keep reading that some 28 million doses would be available by the end of October, which means that nearly 1 in 10 americans would have received the vaccine by now. Either the state of Ohio is getting overlooked or the forecast was way off. I personally don't know anyone who has been able to get the vaccine. In fact the only people I have seen that can get it are pregnant ladies. Are there really that many pregnant people right now? How could anyone expect any different from our government. From Katrina to Social Security to H1N1 vaccines, our government is entirely inept. Matter of fact they only thing the government does well it to spend our money. I couldn’t have said it better.

But it seems strange we were told there would be plenty of vaccine and now when we need it, of course it isn't available. Any chance Big Pharma is using this as a childish punishment: "You want to reform health care? Want a public option? Think we want profits reduced? Here's a dose of health rationing for you!". Just wondering. I don't trust Republican motives and we know the 2 are intertwined. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories-and consider those that do-how about a new term: “heeneist”.

I had just seen a program on National Geographic or History channel about our crumbling infrastructure with a "what if and how soon" on the Golden Gate and the sadly neglected Tappan Zee in New York. Almost an echo of the program if that did happen to the Golden Gate Speaking of infrastructure, was it a side effect of my medicine or did I hear right that a major section or piece of the Golden Gate bridge had come down during morning traffic?

I have listened to European radio on "CBC Radio Overnight" on CBC Radio One and they have talked about the free education and also I believe Sweden or the Netherlands has a government-provided pension. On France 2 news one night they showed an elderly lady who could keep her home because all the home health and home-care people she needed were paid for by the government. I could kick my European ancestors in the butt for emigrating here! Oh, Rich, my insomnia has found a new friend-but I love your blog so much I can’t stop reading it!
