Put your money where your mouth is! Voting every day of every year

I work at home. Before March 24, 2006, I had a day job, for which I dressed up everyday and did my work and socialized with colleagues on my breaks. It wasn't long before people knew my political leanings and dietary preference - at the same time I knew theirs, their spending habits, some of what they did on weekends.

Women's Health, and my Tale of Healthcare in Two Countries

Sat Jul 15, 2006 at 10:29:36 AM PDT

Though I've been a big fan of DailyKos since 2004, this is my first diary. This diary entry has also been in the making for over a year. I'd like to share my healthcare story - the story I've been living now for over a year.

I hope you've got some coffee by your side, because we've got the following to cover:

Prologue : My cultural and national background
Chapter 1: Endometriosis
Chapter 2: I discover US healthcare
Chapter 3: I discover drug company thug behavior and health insurance in the US
Chapter 4: I compare costs of surgery and drugs in US and Singapore
Chapter 5: More details of endometriosis treatment in Singapore
Afterword: Why I wrote this, and what to do if you know someone who needs serious medical treatment and has no health insurance
