American Healthcare

I have a few thoughs on the state of Healthcare in America before I proceed again with the blog. Obviously I've been gone for some time. Today it is June 15th, I'm still in the Hospital, have been here since May 24th. On June 21st I had to have the lymph node between my leg and my crotch removed and it become infected first with strep, and then since I've been in the hospital I also contracted staff. Fun, fun! But, as much as people complain about Hospitals and insurance companies I've really not had a bad experiance with either of them. The doctors here have been great, and obviously care a great deal about about what they do. The nursing have been spectacular, and inspite of what Mike Moore would have everyone believe about Insurance companies mine (Blue Cross) has been great. Everything the doctors have wanted has been taken care of (7 MRI's, twice a day antibiotics that cost $800 each, 5 surgeries and over 3 weeks in the hospital) they have agreed to and paid for. I'm sure they regret taking me on as a client, but they have lived up to their end of the bargin in this particular case. Anyway, I should be out of the hospital sometime between between Monday and Wednesday. I'm feeling pretty good - have done a ton of research with Anthony over the last week or so, and hope to have this blog back up and running so that you are able to use it for relevent market commentary and short to intermediate term trading ideas.
