Please visit my other new blog.

My newest blog, "Diary of an Uninsured American" is about my travails as a working, uninsured American and my efforts to find affordable, accessible and competent health care .
I'm telling you, frugal Richmonders, it ain't easy!
I have been accused of being down-right cheap, but frugal friends, I just can't understand how, in the richest country in the world, how so many hard-working people can be without health care. Americans, just what is our problem? Why are we the ONLY first-world, industrialized, high-tech nation without a comprehensive national health care plan to cover its working uninsured citizens?
Why do we let seniors decide between prescription drugs or food?
Something is very wrong here and I say it is penny-wise and pound-foolish to continue to treat health care as if it were a luxury, not a necessity.
The old saying: "Our health IS our wealth" is true. Without health, the rest is moot.
