Although I have healthcare through my work others get it from other sources. Healthcare should be a fundamental human right in the wealthiest nation on Earth.

The Struggle Is So Real
Lots of people are struggling right now. It’s a matter of livelihoods, health care, hunger, affording stuff, and more. I don’t have an answer for it all. But I will say that in a prosperous country like the United States, none of this should be happening.
So many are paycheck to paycheck, and some aren’t even getting that. Life is hard for so many and having empathy, sympathy, and compassion are what can help. However, people are going hungry. Some face losing the roof over their heads. Getting seriously sick could bankrupt many. There needs to be a solution and fast.
Personally, I don’t think some in our government are equipped to do that. They are distracted on other things. So, I suppose we have to hang in there and do the best we can. Let’s hope for brighter days to come, and soon.
Thank A Healthcare Worker Today
There are thousands of healthcare workers everywhere who are so important to keeping us all up and going. Be sure to thank them for their service in this chaos we are in. We need them now more than ever.
Something About Healthcare
Growing up and growing older has benefits but also aches and pains. Forget about the physical ailments what I am talking about is insurance, doctors, and other stuff like that. Many Americans have insurance through their workplace and I am grateful for the healthcare afforded me and mine.
When your insurance company denies coverage for various treatments and medications it can be a pain in the butt. Sure, costs are a factor, but not everything should be about money. Healthcare is financial and political.
We all have to deal with the changes and hope they won’t harm us. When you have chronic illness and conditions that require daily care then you have to hope it won’t bankrupt you or worse. My friends we all must take care of ourselves so we can take care of others.
Quote Of The Day
”Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'”
(Matthew 25: 44-46 of The Holy Bible)
There’s A National Blood Supply Shortage And You Can Help
Across the United States there is a significant blood supply shortage. Donations are down this time of year. I work for Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank located in Chattanooga, TN and there is less than a one day supply of many blood types. All it takes is a serious trauma to wipe out inventory of available units. Recently in Orlando they experienced an emergency need of blood due to the night club shooting. On July 16th, 2015 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, five servicemen were killed by a terrorist at a local military center. Of those five there was sailor who was needed dozens of units of blood to give him a chance of survival.
Blood donations are important to individuals who have to have blood to survive whether it be a person in an accident, a cancer patient or someone who has lost blood due to a surgery. Every donation saves 3 lives but it does so much more for those who need it.
You can help and it doesn’t take much of your time. Contact your local blood bank and schedule a donation. Encourage those in your life who can to make a donation too. It’s about life and community. It’s a great way to make the world a better place by helping someone live. Blood is needed at all times, you never know when you might need it. No matter where you are in the world you can help save lives.
