			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a href="http://www.keithgoodrum.com/">husband</a>, the master blogger, has been bugging me non-stop to start blogging.  Ok, enough already!  So, I told him to set up the blog for me because all I wanted to do was just log-on and start writing out the post.  I didn&#8217;t want to know how to set up a blog, or any of that technical stuff &#8211; like plug-ins or themes.  GEEZ, who cares!  So, he left the room to go set up the blog, and 15 minutes later&#8230;.voila!  I&#8217;m a blogger.  The sight is still under construction&#8230;..hubby still has to do some &#8216;tweaking&#8217;.  I&#8217;ll put the &#8216;tweaking&#8217; on the honey-do list.</p>
<p>My name is Becky, but my last name is not speak &#8212; the speak is basically my rants.  I&#8217;ve left part of my first rant (aka blog) on another person&#8217;s comments section &#8211; but thought it was worthwhile to repeat here.</p>
<p>What do you think of your healthcare coverage?  Hopefully you have some level of coverage&#8230;    I left a comment on <a href="http://clusterfook.com/2008/10/20/im-covered/">Clusterfook&#8217;s blog</a>, a blog I read often, on the subject of how whacked out the health care system is.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a snippet of my comment:  &#8216;<em>I think the system is a mess. But I don’t think Universal Health care is the solution.. That sounds like a cookie cutter approach to health care — one plan, one price — at the sacrifice of the “care” of the patient. This is America &#8211; land of opportunity. If we take the opportunity away from doctors to make a living, we will end up with less doctors, less specialists, less care. But we’ll only have to pay $5 (is that worth it?). I don’t have a solution, but there are definitely a lot of people in America going without health coverage, and suffering from poor care because of it.</em> &#8216;</p>
