I try to read up and educate myself on the subject....and watch the news shows if I know they're on. But my cog fog problems prevent me from retaining alot of the information I hear. I hear it, I understand it, but after it's over it flies right out of my head. It's terribly frustrating because I need health care insurance desperately. I'll have to wait until 2010 for Medicare if something isn't done soon. I hesitate to comment on alot of the topics because I'm afraid I'll look dumb....because I can't remember alot of it. Some days I'm good. I'll read or see something and "get it". Other days it may as well be written in gibberish.
