Good for her. I have hard time accepting that as enough when she and her husband potentially may be part of the power that will make decisions on the health care access and cost others experience; health care, including physical therapy for MS, whether it be traditional or alternative that thousands cannot now afford to pay for. Will they have the potential for the same “heroic” progress? <br /><br />Do all citizens have the ability to receive the best physical therapy and medical treatment available for MS, including the costly drugs used to treat it? If only they did, and if only we could buy them all a horse, or whatever else they could use to focus on to help them since they do not have millions or thousands to cover alternative/additional personal therapies as a few do, or sufficient affordable insurance plans, as some do. My guess is many of them are focusing on piling up medical bills while still having enough left over for the mortgage or rent, the next grocery trip, and whether they can keep their jobs; and whether any PT for their MS or other drugs that treat it may have to be given up. Stress has a great impact on MS. Many know at least one or two people with MS these days. For many, they can get the care needed even if just basic, for many others, however, not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620292423793571584.post-61749655616081905762012-07-26T18:38:22.007-07:002012-07-26T18:38:22.007-07:00Nice story but in the real world, not everyone wit...Nice story but in the real world, not everyone with MS makes the kind of progress that Mitt describes those knowing her as "heroic". Maybe that is why it's not plastered all over the rags. A lot of people may not relate to it. There are hundreds of thousands of MS hero's and heroism as well among those not fortunate enough to make that kind of progress with their MS and who carry their own "private" torches that inspire, though not as "prestigious" as carrying the Olympic torch. So I'm happy for her experience and her husband's nomination for her and for the Romney's good fortune and I'm sorry for her MS but find the inspirational discussion a bit out of the reality and out of touch with most people's experiences..... but we can all hope many more are as fortunate. As for the medical marijuana, if it works, it should be legal and used and is an important discussion to have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620292423793571584.post-18557140626348711772012-07-03T12:19:54.697-07:002012-07-03T12:19:54.697-07:00It's like this,.,.
Ann Romney (bless her hear...It's like this,.,.<br /><br />Ann Romney (bless her heart) has MS.<br />THOUSANDS of people are finding true relief from medical cannabis to treat their MS, they are able to get off strong prescription narcotics as a result in many cases, which is ALWAYS a good thing.<br /><br />Mitt was in Denver last month when he was asked by a reporter (Colorado has been getting beat up by the Feds over Medical cannabis) what HIS thought were on medical cannabis (totally fair question).<br /><br />Mitt Romney smirked into the camera and said 'Medical marijuana? Don't you have anything of importance to talk about instead'? Then he ended the interview, climbed into a big SUV and drove off via entourage.<br /><br />So, Ann Romney has MS.. Don't we have anything important to talk about instead?333maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293798245688587359noreply@blogger.com
