Dear Julia - the rebuttal

When I wrote to Julia and Nicola about the super clinics I promised to keep you informed as to any correspondence I received back.  And I got something back.

Although I appreciate the quality of the letter (seeing as though I expected very little in reply) I do not agree with everything in it.  For example, in the fifth paragraph Katherine writes "It is intended".  Well, I am afraid that good intentions pave the road to hell and there is a very large difference between intention and practical application and suitability

However, it is debate like this that uncovers the pros and cons of any argument and no matter how big or small the voice it can only work to the betterment of policy.  The letter is attached below.  For now, I think it is time to rewrite to our beloved prime minister and her trusted health minister.  Until next time, stay well:)

Info for my readers

I don't know if you read my post titled "Dear Julia" or not, but I feel for my readers it deserves a little explanation.

Because of the path I have taken in life as a result of things I cannot control, I have become very passionate about health care for all.  It is what inspired me to write this blog.  I also feel that I can help by weighing in with my two cents about health care for all Australians by writing to the government.

So when I write a post like "Dear Julia" I will also be e-Mailing a copy to Prime Minister Julia Gillard and also to Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon.  If anyone has any comments they would like to make, feel free to reply to my blog post and I will forward them to the relevant politician.  Until next time, Stay well:)
