Tony, welcome to blogging! I read your blog entries with great interest and they were filled with enthusiasm and passion for what you to do and the belief in not only your products but the much required positive changes that you actually bring about in your clients lives. In your blog, “Pulse on America”, and “New Medicare and Medicaid Re-Imbursements are Killing American Businesses”, I completely agree with you that the funding cuts that you have experienced in the states are similar to one that have been carried out in the UK. The lady from Florida brought home the importance of your services and the void that is left when such services/products such as yours and the therapists no longer exist. What you do is quite close to my heart as my mother died a few years ago and towards the end of her life she retained complete mental faculties but her body started to fail due to a long history of Arthritis, she was 70. I have witnessed firsthand, the effects of these cuts. My mother was the first Asian within Swindon, UK to be admitted to a council run (Local govt) residential home. As an Asian who was well educated and a teacher for 18 years, she had good command of English. She still enjoyed watching Asian channels in her native language though. In the residential home, due to cuts, she was denied access to cable or satellite TV that could have enhanced the quality of her life in her final days (She spent 17 months of her final days there). We were prepared to pay for the installation and ongoing costs but were stopped from doing so due to the bureaucracy that was there. You have a compassion that has been lost in today’s materialistic society. I personally think that you are doing a great service to your country and I hope that continues well into the future. Many thanks.
