Re: Suzanne-Florida Insurance

Hi Suzanne,

I am sure that is what it is. I just know that for the past 24 years that we

have lived in FL, this program has been in existence. I wasn't too familiar

with it until I worked for the hospital district. I " assumed " that the

property tax money was just one of those things that went to pay for the " fat

cat " salaries and all the new additions that were being built. Boy, was I

WRONG. Moral of the story is, one should not " assume " anything until you

know what you are talking about. Learn something new each and every day!

Thinking about it actually, we have the United Way and the hospital district

assistance which is really a God send for those that need the services. Our

North hospital district provides us with two (2) trauma centers, one of which

is a level one trauma center. When I was having my children, my OB doctor

said that that was the only hospital that he would deliver at. I, of course,

had a fit..... " I am not delivering at no county hospital " . Well, the doctor

won and as far as hospital experience was more than I expected. I had a

private room, which was nice, but the best thing was that my oldest daughter

was born with a congenital heart defect. It was actually the nurses who

picked it up and even upon discharge, the pediatrician's could not detect it

when we were discharged. Because of the nurses there, my daughter had

treatment from the second day of life, had her corrective surgery and has

just celebrated her 21st birthday. So I should be the LAST one to complain

about the hospital district! Shame on me!!!!

Hope your weather changes Suzanne, we are pretty soggy here in Southeast FL.

Been raining all morning and it is just plain gloomy outside. A good day to

stay in bed with some good old movies and an afghan!

Gentle, tender, angel hugs,

Debs in FL
