A 99 Year Old "Absolute Legend"
Read the article: 'Absolute legend': British veteran raises €20 million walking for NHS
Tom Moore served as a soldier during WWII (and other conflicts). He KNOWS anxiety and real doom and all the other feelings we're experiencing... yet has chosen to fight for others even when he should be long past fighting for anyone but himself.
"Moore said the walk was inspired by the care he received from Britain's state-run National Health Service when he broke his hip and when he was treated for cancer."
I'm glad the UK has the NHS and I'm glad we have our own universal health care system in Canada. It's not perfect, but it's better than the nightmare of the US, where one victim of Covid-19's last words were, "Who will pay for it?" when he was told he needed to be put on a ventilator. Remember that, next time and every time we're at the polls, voting in a provincial or federal party which would gut health care in an attempt to privatize it.
