Vindicating Nathaniel

Re: post of Thursday, Oct. 9: As a matter of clarification, Nathaniel did not say anything mean to me. We had a discussion of universal health care and whether or not an individual has a right to health care. I decided no, we don't have a right to health care, because no one has an obligation to give it to me. A moral obligation, yes; a legal obligation, no.

My hormones got the best of me when I realized that meant that if I didn't have health insurance last year, and there was no way for me to get health care, I would have died. Luckily, Nathaniel was there to make it all better.

So you see? I have a very sweet husband.
