But it could get anybody, really.  

One of the many irritating things about living in the US in the 21st century, is the way people have forgotten such basic truths.  

Public health is the one part of medicine that actually makes an overall impact, and people think it's a luxury.  

Too late to complain, really.  US medicine is now essentially a scam, and we'll ride it to the bottom.

When we had to go to the Public Health office, my gran would have to take a whole day off work.  It took two bus transfers to get there and the buses didn't come very often.  There was a McDonald's across the street from it, and we'd go have lunch as a special treat before starting the long journey home.

In my mind, the Public Health office was somewhere very far away.  Imagine my surprise, then, when I started driving and noticed it right by the DMV -- it was 4  miles away.  I almost couldn't believe it.  Public transportation is important, too.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
