The happiest citizens live in the Nordic states.

Overcast again. August gloom. Don't let it get you down.
I saw another cat that looks like Budda. But his 'boots' are much less, more like shoes. Again, near the start of my walk. What is the universe saying here?
I can't stand listening to the 'debate' on health care. There are more lies and misrepresentations going on than I can stand. I'm beginning to understand why some people get violent. We pay as a Nation twice as much for our health care as other advanced civilizations and are 29th out of thirty in child survival rates. In spite of the cost we suffer similar rates for other health measurements. Where does all that money go if it doesn't contribute to better health care? The countries that have the happiest citizens live in the Nordic states, all with universal health care. Why do we drag our feet on the way to the 21st century.
Health care for all would prove that we're all on this flight together.
