Health Care Delivery Nightmare by Kate Loving Shenk

Much press is given aging Baby Boomers who send their children to college and in many cases, take care of their aging parents at the same time.

In my own case, my mother died after a stroke after a two month decline in 1987. I just graduated from my Nurse Practitioner program and came home on Father's Day.

This was the same day my mother had her stroke.

My father's gradual decline spanned over thirteen years. He had Alzheimer's Disease and was in and out of consciousness for most of that time. I dealt with Nursing Home administrators, and had to move him from one nursing home to another when he "ran out of money."

These kinds of experiences where you feel powerless to help the one person whom you love deeply from earliest memory, can teach lessons of surrender and a giving up of all past memory for a simple acceptance of that which is seen and unseen in this very moment.

My dad died seven years ago. I am reconciled with everything that ever happened between us, and all members of my family.

Enter Marybeth Kuznik, Executive Director of Vote Pa. She is dedicated to bringing voting (machine) reform to the state of Pennsylvania. She was one of the people who went to Ohio for the final vote count in Ohio in the 2004 election.

She verified what I have known since that time: G.W. Bush stole that election.

Marybeth and I met at the State Democratic Committee Meeting where our group, Progressives For Pennsylvania, held our health care reform conference in order to educate the State Democratic Party about HB 1660 and SB 300: The best state single payer plan in the country, at this time.

The conference was a success! People are excited by the Bill. As Michael Moore said in a recent conference call I was privileged to attend, the people are ready for it. Getting it through the legislative process is the challenge.

We were collecting health care delivery nightmare stories, and Marybeth gave us the most wrenching story I have ever heard, one that will soon be on You Tube and on our website, Progressives 4 Pennsylvania, as well as our P4P blog.

Merle Kuznik, Marybeth's 89 year old mother, broke her right hip after suffering a major stroke on her left side. The nursing home she was in, Wood Haven Care Center in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, insisted that Merle Kuznik apply for Medicaid to pay for expenses not paid by Medicare.

When the paperwork was not completed in a timely fashion, local Constables showed up to her nursing home room, with guns visible but in their holsters, and told her she would have to go to jail for 3 days, if she did not pay.

Marybeth, the savvy person that she is, went to KDKA TV and told the story.

Our bill, HB 1660 and SB 300 pays for long term care.

If our bill was in place NOW, Marybeth and Merle wouldn't be going through this degrading experience.

The question is, how many other of our elderly are experiencing similar experiences that are the worst kind of abuses in what we know is NOT a civil society until we get a single payer system instituted in our country?

How many suffer silently because, like Merle Kuznic, they cannot speak, or move because they are paralyzed? or worse, because they are mentally incapacitated?

This story underscores the reason why I fight tirelessly for a single payer health care delivery system.

Florescent lighting for 29 gallon aquarium; can I use a single tube lighting for my 29 gallon tank.?

Can I use a single tube lighting to set up a planted aquarium with anibus nana, cabomba, hornwort, dwarf grass hair, and wisteria. Can a single tube lighting grow plants with great success. Will the leaves at the bottom of the plant fall off. I will get the florescent plant bulbs for growing.
CAN THESE PLANTS GROW UNDER SINGLE STRIP LIGHTING ANIBUS NANA, CAMBOMBA, HORNWORT, DWARF GRASS HAIR, AND WATER WISTERIA.

It all depends on the tank. If it's a deep tank you will have a lot of problems, a typical rectangular or bow front should be okay provided you get a bulb meant for a planted tank. Big box stores don't normally stock bulbs for planted tanks. I use a single tube on a 46 gallon bow front tank.

The other thing to realize is that the plants need carbon dioxide. The same surface agitation that adds oxygen for the fish also removes the carbon dioxide the plants need. You may have to add a CO2 generator or a product called Flourish Excel, which adds carbon compounds to the water that some (but not all) plants can absorb instead of CO2.
