Truth in Blogging

Now I've become interested in health care in China. After mentioning my reading at lunch yesterday, one of the women seemed to be quite knowledgeable, certainly much more knowledgeable than I was after reading one book. She says that China has/had health care for many of it's workers who worked in factories. She indicated that this has changed as situations change in China.

A cursory look at a Google search tells me that there is health care, but it is overwhelmed. I guess more reading and research is required. It seems, though, after reading one book, that circumstances are different in the cities and in the country. It also seems that local corruption may influence what really happens locally. We'll see.

The lunch was with three women from PALAC. One is my old boss Bill's wife, Jaine. Another is Audrey who barely remembers that we have met often. And Judy, another friend of Jaine and Bill's who has recently joined PALAC. We were inspecting the site of two wine tastings we are holding, one in May and one in August. It's an interesting location. The food is overpriced, but the wine seems to be fairly priced. They do cold storage there if you really love wine. The wine tastings should be a lot of fun. I know it was fun to chat with these three fascinating women.

But now I do really need to learn more about China.
