			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thiseclecticlife.com/2008/11/07/only-the-good-friday-4/">Shelly&#8217;s Only the Good Friday </a>came and went for me, but then I was on a mini vacation, a rare thing for us anymore, especially one involving people rather than just a place. That in itself was <em>good</em>, right?<br />
So run read where her good thoughts led, but first:</p>
<p>I <em>want</em> to rant on the lack of Health Care availability for all at reasonable prices or even free&#8230; but in the spirit of Only the Good Friday (on Monday), I won&#8217;t. What I will do is share this good thought with you:</p>
<blockquote><p>We found out last week that although health care costs for retirees for Verizon were increasing by approximately 10%, the cost provided for by the GTE contract I retired under and my particular choice of Health Care options DECREASED by around 30% for next year over this year.  That is both exciting and ridiculous, but I can only comment on the exciting part.  That means other retirees with the same contract will probably face reduced costs per month for the same coverage, a good thing. For them, (and us, of course) I am truly excited.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s put our positive thoughts together and <em><strong>see a future of health benefits for all, regardless of position in life, poor choices, good choices, job, or no job. Let&#8217;s see everyone with an equal opportunity to take advantage of medical science IF we choose to&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>Please, join me in this&#8230; it may seem like a minor step or inconsequential step to you, but in mass, you just never know, it might work. If enough people envision it, someone will come up with a working plan, one better than we can imagine, but we have to put the thought in their head so strong, they can&#8217;t ignore it &#8211; and it costs you nothing but a moment of your time &#8212; and we all waste moments on absolutely nothing. I KNOW I am not the only one.</p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>I see a future, sooner than I would have thought, of health benefits for all, regardless of position in life, poor choices, good choices, job, or no job. Let&#8217;s see everyone with an equal opportunity to take advantage of medical science IF we choose to&#8230;</strong></em></p>
