Health Care Change

There is a built in natural resistance to change. It is called the suffering of change. We are like rocks that like to settle in a spot and not budge but become more enmeshed, some in more ways than others.

Perusing the articles on the web about new health care changes, there seems to be a shared sense that something is going to come forth while the resistance is profound.
