Health care Delivery Issues From Another Point of View of View

There are a number of ways to approach the subject of medical care delivery in the time of restricted or lessened resources. J sent this blog link to me today, and I recommend looking at it. The author considers some of the questions related to access to medicine that does not have adequate substitutes available within the fields of natural medicine or low tech healing.

This is good stuff to look at now, all of it, while we still have-some of us anyway- the leisure of living in a time of abundant resources. The leading edge of experiencing the direct effect of the need for localization will be those who are even now low in income. We are entering a time already where those of us who have average or better income can complain about the rising prices of gasoline, home energy, or health insurance, but we who are called "poor" or the working poor" are already staying home rather than making discretionary trips in automobiles, and are already adjusting the thermostats to reflect rising prices.

So here is a link, presented at a time when the clinic -naming issue is still percolating.
