I think you might be one of the people I wish I could have counted on in a SNF, ( did I get that alphabet soup correct?) to be caring for those I loved when they started to need more than I physically was able to give them, myself.
Some of your posts make my heart so sad, that I find myself unable to respond. But, I think we have an incredible opportunity here, now, in this minute, we can act as a people of a free nation to change what isn't working if we don't continue to squander that opportunity.
In many ways, my fiscally conservative self asks that someone explain to me how we can pay for it, just as I did to my beloved spouse when he asked the same question of me. I sat, for hours, days even, running the numbers, figuring out how we could do it, how we wouldn't make what we felt important to be a burden to anyone else and how we could continue to still have a good, no great, life together still living up to our personal principle of personal responsibility.
This national discussion is too important, too imperative, not to address these issues, rationally, without fear, without partisan politics and with our God given intelligence!
My lifelong commitment to being a conservative, Republican, is in question because if find myself often embarrassed by some of what my party representatives say and do.
I spent a lot of my time working for the issues and causes, only to discover that many times the interests of my family were not represented, but my own were.
