Invitation to Write Letters

From blog owner: North American health care systems appear to be in disarray. No one seems to be getting the health care they need or deserve. Canada has a "universal" health care system where health care is supposed to be provided "free" (through our taxes and premiums) to every citizen. Every worker in the health care system is needed to keep it functioning and to provide health care to those who need it, even in rural areas.

You can appreciate the devastating loss of a nursep. to a rather remote area where it may take up to two hours or more to get to a hospital or see a doctor. If you wish to read more on the issue, please read related posts on this blog. If you feel the urge to write out of empathy and compassion for the nurse practioner and the rural residents she served, please make your views known to the individual mentioned below. I am sure those of you all over Canada and all over the world as well can relate.

Thanks. From these remote communities.

The Minister of Health for Nova Scotia , I am sure, wants to know what your
thoughts are on the subject, and I am sure equally glad to hear from people
not just all over the province (and she is probably getting a lot of those
after the wonderful Editorial in todays Provincial paper) but just as much,
I am sure, from friends and former residents of this beautiful province
everywhere.(You can find that editorial also on the blog above.)
