President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Win

Sorry, but his win was for an attempt at making a difference not actually doing anything. I think this guy has had a greater impact on changing lives for peace. Greg Mortenson, nominated for the p...

School teachers also get paid very little. They end up choosing their career because they want to help children. You can have a PH.D and teach 20 years and you can make $65,000 a year in Washington...

Leslie Monroe replied to Matthew - NC's discussion 'The dangers of "Healthcare Reform"'

My other concern is the shortage of primary care doctors in the field of medicine already. AARP realizes it's only going to get worse with or without healthcare reform. How are going to get more students to enter the primary care field when their...

Leslie Monroe replied to Matthew - NC's discussion 'Fungibility of Money & Abortion in healthcare'

Not a big fan of fungibility and I love your bread and beer argument. Very similar to how people use their food stamps to buy the basics and then use their own money to buy things they don't need. Good analogy. Leslie JRS Medical

Leslie Monroe replied to Brendan Sweeney (WAMU 88.5)'s discussion 'Where do you get fresh local produce and ingredients?'

Profile Information

Hobbies/Interests (optional): Work for JRS Medical Supplies & take care of my 75 yr old diabetic father who is on Medicare. Wish their was a way to help him pay less for his diabetic supplies, heck for any of his prescriptions that don't seem to be convered.

Look forward to getting into this online coversation.

My father, who is 75, has been placed in a assisted living facility for a little over a year now (Thanks to his diabetic condition and lack of self care). Enjoy working at JRS Medical Supplies where I am able to help those at home save money on their medical equipment. But even then I hear numerous stories from the elderly that still can't afford even discounted walkers, hospital beds, and such.

I try to do my part to help to the best of my ability. I also think of them as my own mother or father. Look forward to getting involved in the conversation here at WAMU.
