If the Post Office is any indication...

...we are headed for deep trouble when the Government takes over health care. Let me explain!

The other day the wife got a call from a customer asking if we had received her package. We had not. This morning the customer called to advise us, the Postal Service had tried to deliver the package in July. She said they had left three notifications that the package was available for pickup at the Post Office, but we had not responded. Note: The Post Office always blames the customers for errors.

We did not receive any notification of a package for pickup but I went to the P.O., as our customer requested. Well sure enough the package was in the Post Office. Now, the thing of it is, the package should not have been there, it should have been returned to sender. Postal regulations state that packages are to be returned to the sender after 12 days. So much for rules and regulations of the Federal Government.

So, if I take into consideration the efficiency (actually inefficiancy) of the Post Office which has been in operation for over one hundred years, I can only imagine what the health care system will be like in 5 years.

It will be our fault for getting sick in the first place; we got the wrong medicine because we didn't ask the right question; the Doctor can't see us until next year because his union won't let him; and the Hospital closes sharply at 5:00 PM so come back tomorrow, except for the weekends, then they will tell us to come back Monday.

God help us!
