Health Care

As I prepare to pay a $1,1oo+ bill to get stitches in my leg this spring and my wife has no insurance, I understand the need is there to improve the healthcare system. It needs several repairs:
1. tort reform
2. insurance reform
3. paperwork reduction
4. electronic records
5. many others.

Affordability is a huge problem. However, it will not be more affordable to the nation if we make it free for almost everyone. Let's develop a common-sense approach that stops people from falling through the cracks but does not reward illegal aliens and abortions.

Adventureland

We had a fun week last week, going to Adventureland with friends Tina and Joseph and then the next day Mark, Angie, and I went to an Iowa Cubs game. We had lots of fun. Ethan, 2, did well at Adventureland, loving every ride we went on, including the water rides and even the Underground dark roller coaster.

The fireworks show made up for a lackluster ballgame. We hope to do it more in the future.

Successful time at Bible Camp

Well, the kids are home from Bible Camp, and all had a good time and hopefully a learning time. The kids brought home a bunch of frogs and toads, over a dozen total. Ours kept some and gave the rest away to the other kids who came and wanted frogs (Mark's friend Heaven). We had to let the frogs go after a few died. Mark and Jesse won Bible drills. I still don't know which tribe won the awards. I'll have to find out. Next week Mark is off to Boys' Camp, where he'll learn more about boy stuff, like fire, fishing, football, etc. We try to keep him away from firearms. God bless y'all.
