Blog Action Day- Poverty

Posted on October 15, 2008 by Yael7 Comments

It’s Blog Action Day today, and the topic we’re putting the spot light on is poverty.
I will talk about poverty from a different point of view, maybe, than what was intended by the good people who took the time to make this day happen.
I was thinking about the best way for me to talk about poverty, as I am ashamed to say- I don’t know enough about the subject.
Then I thought about Chinese Medicine, which in China was for years the only medicine around, and was the medicine for the people.
So let’s talk about that a bit, but before I start rambling about that, I want to send you to a good informative website about poverty- Learn About Poverty.

Medicine in general
I find it amazing that there are people in this world who don’t get the health care they need because they don’t have enough money.
It can be a very basic treatment they need and can’t afford, and it can be a constant care they need, for a chronic condition, which can add up to thousands of dollars a month.
Either way, they can’t afford it.
