My point... and hopefully its a good point is, Are you suffering or feel endangered, knowing that a nurse, doctor or home aide might be taking care of you and exposing you to an infection or cold & flu? Bladder and UTI or Yeast Infections. These are the very people who are taking care of you as Quads, while being sick themselves. Years ago, I remember one aide who carried a bag with 12 different meds Rx, for themselves and not there clients. Who's taking care of who? Best Wishes In a message dated 5/4/2010 2:04:33 P.M.

it behooves most employers to consider subsidizing their employees health care. If an employee is healthy and happy they tend to stay longer and are more productive. In my case, I think it's imperative that I consider my family, who are my primary caregivers, health it has been almost as essential as mine. If there is goes downhill, the mine is bound to follow shortly thereafter if I'm not able to find a suitable replacement. Just my two cents. Quadius.

I'm still trying to get some reasonable insurance for my brother and sister-in-law who take care of me. I need to bite the big one and accept the fact that they need good insurance so they can continue to take care of me. If they can't go to the doctor and things fester it's going to end up biting me in the rear later on.

A lot of them can't afford going to doctor's. You might say they don't have to work for a health company that doesn't give health benefits. But try and find one!!! Thank God there are people out there that will work without benefit's. As a person with a disability I could not live without my aide's. I think of them as Gods Angels.

To: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Date: Friday, April 30, 2010, 3:22 PM Is it me or have I noticed that in far too many cases with healthcare aids and workers that they are often in worse health then the people who they take care of? The also applies to Doctors, Nurses and home aids. By Law, they don't have to disclose any health conditions or if they have or carry any infections while taking care of you. Has anyone else noticed this too? On a side note, organ donors and receivers More then 1/2 of our organ donations come from abroad. No, not women.... but rather from other countries. Where has your organ come from? Best Wishes
