Watching

I watched a close friend get it together this afternoon after speaking with Medicare. Her husband is in an assisted care facility due to alzheimers.
A sad struggle at best.
Medicare refuses to step in to help pay for the care. There seems to be a workman's comp case outstanding on her husband from 10 years ago. The case was a mistake to begin with. Admittedly on the part of the husband's insurance company. But the case is still outstanding. The insurance company says no. Medicare says yes.
Carol and her husband, his retirement, their life together are the victims. Dignity has gone out the window.
So after she "got it together", she called our congressman.
I pray he helps.
We need something different.
We as a people need to fight for one another.
To give one another dignity and grace.
