i wrote a note to the 'national review online' (which they actually
posted on their blog) pointing out i've got a buddy who's a cop near
pittsburgh, and the only physical exam he's had in 30 years was one i
gave him when i was in nursing school. 'national review' was
shocked...SHOCKED to find out there are WORKING people in the US
without health coverage. after all, the US system takes care of
everyone...right?

I've had health insurance (that I have paid for through employment) since
1977 when I left the Navy.
The first time I had a physical was two years ago and that was only because
Blue Cross insisted I get one or lose my coverage. They thought I was dead
because my file only had two pages in it.

So, you're not too bright when it comes to protecting your own health.
Are you saying that what you did is "proper" for everyone else?

I see my doctor every three months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes
first. :)

I don't have any serious chronic physical ailments, but if one develops,
I want it attended to right away. In between visits, I stop in every few
weeks at the firehouse and one of EMTs checks my blood pressure.
