WE NEED HEALTH CARE REFORM!
A well dressed gentleman arose from a barber’s chair and asked the charge, holding out his bank debit card, and was told the deduction would be $5.00. From the adjoining chair, a scruffy yardman arose, and asked how much. He was told $15.00. Why not $5.00, he demanded. The barber explained that was the charge for those not having a debit card.
This seems horribly unfair, yet it is the situation existing in the United States medical profession’s two tiered pricing schedule. Those patients without the "debit card", or medical insurance, are typically charged more than three times the fee Insurance companies and Medicare use to compensate doctors for the same services. Is this fair? Don’t we desperately need National Health Insurance?

- Bosacker
- Gerald Bosacker studied journalism, but found success as a graphic arts salesman and his career evolved through serendipity and wilful pandering to superiors, into a vice presidency of a gigantic international chemical company. This role was neither deserved nor properly appreciated. Early retirement, a naive victim of his failure to master corporate politics, provided ample opportunity for his first love of weaving words into meaningful poetry, and worldly tales with a realistic twist. Starting late, Bosacker fills the Internet with pro-bono words, and promoting his nine books, hoping for acclamation while he is still mortal, but contentedly leaving a literary legacy.
