Personal Politics
Tuesday August 30, 2005
I spend too much of my life "in my head." I think about this and that -- and fret about the other. But tonight, I let myself meander through a new blog space: women's blogs. It all started with a reference to BlogHer by Chris Pirillo. I poked around a bit, then found a
women's speaker wiki. (Stay with me, there is a political point coming!)
I explored a few categories and stumbled upon Liz Lawley, a professor from Rochester who is currently on sabbatical across the lake at Microsoft, and working with someone I know, no less. From here, I found her blog, where I met Badger, the subject of this post.
Badger's story is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with America's health care system -- from inadequate insurance (even when people have jobs) to the Bush Administration's opposition to Oregon voter desires .... from crazy drug costs to insane insurance "coverage" decisions. It is also a story of love and loss.
I encourage you to read Badger's first post: The Political Gets Personal ... and this from last week. Check out Successful Academic's grassroots efforts. And feel the silence.
