Hi;

I had an interesting discussion last evening with a federal politician here in Canada. I was asking about our health care system and he told me he believes that countries such as the US, Canada and the EU must get together and deal with pharmaceutical companies and drugs on an international basis.....for instance your FDA in the US is able to get drugs registered much more quickly than Canada because we have a smaller organization. This would be the first step in a process of becoming global. I love the idea. The article on those chinese women really does hit your heart. We really are so lucky to live where we do and have all of the benefits. I also get down sometimes....as I believe we all can do from time to time.....we are after all living with a life threatening illness. When that happens to me I try to pull myself into the day.....this day....what I am doing....who I am with. It is only when I think longer term that I can worry a bit so I try not to do that....or at least not to do that without being in the presense of an extreme optomist....lol.
