We also - so told - don't have to go down to Columbia Street, after we get that card. <br /><br />I noticed there is a medical facility, out in the Lake City district of Seattle, for veteran's outpatient care.<br /><br />But admittedly, I haven't done that - yet. <br /><br />Last thing I read, the so-called compromise will extend Medicare to those as young as 55; and the "public option" will be killed, if that takes place. (Fromma Harrop, syndicated in the Seattle Times, wrote about how this is a compromise to those afraid of "socialism," even though she asserted Medicare is socialism. The late Michael Harrington might have disagreed.) <br /><br />Either way, I think guys such as us are going to be taken care of, all right. Hard to say about our offspring and mates, however.Terry Parkhursthttp://www.partsandpeople.comnoreply@blogger.com
