In these pages a few years ago‚ I reported on some of my findings at having reached very old age. I was then in my early 90s. Five years further down the hill‚ I have a few more matters to note. Certainly I have not gained in wisdom‚ but due to so little physical activity and fewer social goings-on‚ I have begun to inhabit the static house of my head. To my surprise I find it a somewhat well-furnished abode‚ occupied with what I remember‚ have heard recently‚ and observed. Ernest Hemingway boils

values have shifted to define medical quality in terms of outcomes that are important to the patient rather than medical professionals ( Brody‚ 1988).

Americans‚ our views on healthcare are based on specific sets of narrow experiences. We might complain about long emergency wait times‚ lack of service to those without money‚ greedy insurance companies‚ and depending on our political allegiances‚ the massive healthcare overhaul that is currently taking place under the Obama administration.

When it comes to health care I think it should be available to everyone. Free insurance would be nice‚ sure‚ for everyone who is working‚ going to school‚ raising their family‚ or has served in the military‚ but that isn’t possible.
