Supplemental health insurance

As the health insurance debates rages around the nation, we too can attest that our health care system is dismal, too expensive and needs be reined in, hopefully with a single payer system down the road, like it's the case with most civilized countries. We have however, and for now a long time, taken steps to enhance our health coverage. We run every morning. We actually do it five times a week and if there is a big raining day, too much snow or if we just feel sick, we always catch up the time we've missed. We've been doing it for several decades (32 years, as far as I'm concerned) and we keep on doing it.

In addition to giving us a stimulating boost of energy, we believe it maintains us strong, keeps bad colds at bay, and I have even recently read that it was not bad, but rather good for certain joints like the knees! We find it to be the most important element in starting a good day, and more important than our morning coffee that we certainly love. We hope to stay with this insurance (read running) as long as our bodies can afford to move us along and our joints don't protest too loudly. Of all the life-long habits we've embraced, this is one we cherish the most.
