The message was directed to her physical health and Spirit (her family) were inquiring into how she was feeling and that they knew that there were some health issues that were going on right now. They asked if she had seen a Doctor and she sheepishly said no. That she had no money to pay for health insurance. So then Spirit tried to help her with some alternative ways of tackling the health issue. They weren't professing that it would heal her but it might help her.
I realized while giving this message that Spirit doesn't really understand when we can't "afford" something. They were astounded that she couldn't go to the Doctor. That it wasn't a given that she should be able to go and get help from someone who is sworn to help those in need. I tend to agree with them. Why can't we go to these people who say they are all about healing the sick...when in actuality the bottom line is money. It's always about money. Now I am not dissing Doctors...some are quite nice and their hearts are full. What I wonder about is the big insurance companies.....to them we are just a number or a dollar sign. Recently I read that Norma Ray....great activist that she was...died of brain cancer that wasn't treated because her insurance company wouldn't cover the treatment. Granted she may have passed anyway but who is to know? And I do believe that Doctors have the right to charge for their services but it shouldn't be up to the insurance companies who gets help and who doesn't.
Spirit doesn't understand it and neither do I. Things need to change in this country. It should be a person's right to have health care. Or any care for that matter. I say a revolution is at hand...and I'm all for it.

ReplyDelete" There's a doctor nearby ( I'm in N.E. North Carolina ) whose specialty is knee replacement surgery. I'm told he operates each week on Monday & Tuesday ( 10 each day ) and keeps his patients for short term rehab whereupon all go home on Thursday. I would never, ever suggest that he ' scrub up ' for an hourly wage similar to what his patients make, but I seriously doubt there is any valid reason for the good doctor to charge someone who makes $20 an hour $26,000 for services rendered. Particularly when you consider that at 20 surgeries per week, even with his overhead, well... you do the math. This is what is wrong with things... pure greed.
