    I do believe all the ideas you’ve offered on your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for newbies. Could you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

    I just watched the Kathleen Sebelius video–all 29 minutes, and learned several valuable things–even though I thought I was well versed on health care reform before. Thank you, thank you. I sent it on to all my family and many friends–and told them it was a must see. Patricia

    I’m sure this is very informative, but I can’t do videos (I cannot afford a speaker), so I miss out.

    My question is just that health insurance and health care itself is currently far too expensive, and I’ve heard nothing about costs being brought down. I cannot afford the minimal insurance I can get, and I don’t dare do without it. I have no health problems, and yet I’m stuck. And soon it will be illegal to do without insurance anyway. Health insurance for people over 50 years old, who have to buy individual policies, is frighteningly expensive.

    I watched the video with no problems. Very scared this week. My husband had to get quadruple bypass surgery. He finally went to the doctor after trying to take care of me for 12 years, and now he is recovering from this major surgery. Luckily he made it in time and seems to be recovering quite well. I can not worry him about anything.

    Fran talked about the chemicals in products, etc. I have been writing for 12 years to our leaders about the chemicals in our products and indoor mold. I have met people all over the world dealing with both issues. We are basically left on our own when we get sick from indoor mold and then many of us become sensivite to everyday products.

    Finally there are two bills one in the Senate and one in the House for chemical reform. One bill is called the Chemical Safety Act of 2010. Something like that. I am so distraut this week. Also a cosmetic bill was just introduced.

    I have not been active in life for 12 years because I could not get medical help for my illness. I had the best insurance at the time. Now we have none. My husband lost it when he was having seizures about 10 years ago and he lost his job and benefits.

    Now I am left with all the worry. I have not even driven or been a part of the money decisions, and left to deal with everything. Something just does not seem right that this can happen in our country. I never wanted to be so isolated, but that is how it is for people with this illness.

    I am working with doctors and many that are sick, etc. on the mold issue because we got tired of nothing happening in legislation to protect people. Doctors are not trained in this area even though many of our schools have indoor mold. Teachers and nurses are a large group dealing with these illnesses.

    Thank you for letting me vent. Linda
