Rad keyblade auction also benefits Child's Play

Funny stuff.

Man I knew the American health care system was messed up but thatsjust sick. Seriously how does private health care make sense toanyone, its just so inhumane. Private health care in my mind is aboutas low as payday loans, serves only those who have.

You should send a letter to your local paper about that practice, orif you don't think they will listen maybe you should bring it up withchild's play. They may see fit to donate the equipment to moredeserving hospitals.

Then you'll be shocked when you hear Europe and Canada are seriously considering cutting "universal" healthcare.

It sounds greedy that the hospital is using donated goods and charging for them. Send an email to the Child's Play guys and the hospital on this conduct. Suggest that if they don't stop, they won't receive any more donations.

Wow, then public healthcare must be about as low as helping the poor, which is what economists have found payday loans to do based on many studies. By giving people with low incomes access to money in emergencies, they are better able to keep their jobs in the face of unexpected crises. Many people called out against them as taking advantage of the poor, yet in cases when they were eliminated, unemployment increased, as people would choose to "give up" in the face of a crisis, unable to continue their job commitment. Perhaps the intentions of the loaners might not be completely roses, but the outcome benefits everyone. Maybe knee-jerk reactions aren't the best ones? But nobody cares about economists anyway...

By the way, the same goes for public health care. It seems good, until you realize that the quality of care goes down as doctors no longer have incentive to be the best, as it were. Public health care means people can't pay more to see the best doctors, and thus most won't strive to be the best and earn the most money. Everything gets brought down to the same level, everything slow down, nobody gets better. European health care looks great from the outside, but I'll bet you plenty of people are complaining about how LONG it takes to get anything done. And I thought the increase of outpatient care (in response to fuller hospitals) was bad.

Just need to do a follow up here. I contacted Child's Play about this, and they were really quick and helpful to respond btw.

In any case it was my error and the hospital in question was Fort Worth Children's Medical Center and not Dallas Children's Medical. Ft. Worth is not part of the Child's Play program and therefore has absolutely nothing to do with the robbery going on at Ft. Worth.

The Ft. Worth Medical Center is also using donated video game systems and games, but have no problem charging their patients for items that are already paid for. So if you ever have sick kids in this area, you might want to go to Dallas Children's instead of Ft. Worth Children's (though both are really nice facilities).


Again, I want to apologize to Child's Play and Dallas Medical for any damaged I might have caused for my mis information. This will teach me to get all facts straight before I post on a blog.

Hey Chris, thanks for the update - I was seriously worried that something was amiss with Child's Play.

Pansy.

it works fine...
