From the Bible Belt to the Beltway
Sorry to say I've never been to Washington DC before in my life. I've been all over the US and to several other countries overseas but never to our nation's capitol. I have a BS in Political Science and once considered going to Law School (only for about 5 minutes:) My Father-in-law is an attorney so I can say that. I have, although, been interested in politics ( I feel like I just said a bad word) from a distance. With that said, I have my first opportunity to go to Washington next month. Get this, I was chosen to attend the "Young Professionals Leadership Summit" I know someone who knows someone who knows Bill Frist hence getting an invitation. Should be interesting. I'm trying to get smart on an issue that's near and dear to my heart, the healthcare crisis. Anyone have any personal stories regarding healthcare, both good and bad, I would love to hear from you.

YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! DC has GOT to be one of the GREATEST cities in the world! I wrote about it in October before I had given my blog URL to anyone and before I had commented anywhere; if you're interested, here's the link: http://openconversation.blogspot.com/2005/10/my-dc-top-ten.html
You need to plan to be there as long as possible; knowing the places you wanna go in advance will be helpful. It's worth it to take a tour--drivers are a wealth of information.
You KNOW I've got healthcare "stories"...guess I'll share those over dinner ;).
Did Tyler hook you up?
My word verification is hbrayxal--is that a new drug? (You'll find word verifications entertain some of us.....)
My word verification is fjaaar is that in Iraq? *LOL*
I have not been to DC put would love to go someday :) Take pics and post so those of us who have not been, can be jealous ;)
I have years of healthcare experience I could share with you...but unfortunately, the bottom line will always dictate it not the needs of the people.
