Pizza, Patch Adams, and Heath Care.

We went to the Amazing Maize Maze again. This time Joanna, Dan, Nicole and I. it was awesome. Again. Love how they start the "stalk talk" by saying that there is no running and no touching the corn, and that is basically all we did. We ran through the maze throwing corn kernals at each other (btw, those things can really hurt when thrown with some velocity). Actually, I found some ammo in my pocket when I went to wash those jeans...

Then we had pizzas at Dan's uncle's resturant, Mina's, in Palmyra. The pizza was amazing, so if you're ever in Palmyra, go there, and if you can, bring Dan so you can get free soda.

Lastly, we went to Dan's House at about 10 to watch a movie. We decided on Patch Adams, and I decided that that idealistic view of healthcare is good in theory but way impractical, and am still sticking with my theory - health care companies should take the hippocratic oath (ie. do no harm) and become client centered. The health insurance system needs to be reformed. That is obvious. But a goverment-run program is not the way to do it. Especially not under Obama, whose previous legislation is not exactly helping right now...

The entire system does not need to be overhauled. We just need some caring, level-headed people to reform it to what we all know is logical. Abandoning capitalism is not the answer, but neither is abandoning the patients.
