And most health care providers are getting these letters from the
military every month. There has been a rumor that medical people may be drafted. Friends of mine in the military medical corps telling me there is severe shortage of medics. A friend of mine is an army reservist medical specialty. She was just sent to Iraq. They are not doing the mash tents behind the battle lines. They are sending medics to the front lines. She is in a jeep with a gun at the sight of the fighting. I am horrified. How stupid can this be. Why put the medics in harm's way. None of us have heard from her.

With health ins being cut back due to govt refusing tax breaks to employers for health ins, medical people will be out of work? May have to go fight in the oil wars to eat?
