Home life and work life are conceived of as separate and incommenserate.

The shade of meaning I want  is work life and home life do not share a system of measurement.

The thought is that people's sex drive will interfere with the obligations of employment.

Sex has often overpowered living.

The Gentler Symptoms of Dying

By SARA MANNING PESKIN, M.D. | Jul 11th 2017

The human body’s most compassionate gift is the interdependence of its parts.

The Trump administration is not experiencing terminal lucidity.

I think I and mine are not there now.
Mother may have been in that state at her end.
I did not need certainty.

I hope you and yours are spared such an experience.
Given control, I will use the morphine pump at that point.
All words should be said and all arrangements made.
I am far from there.

Don’t Leave Health Care to a Free Market

By FARZON A. NAHVI | Jul 10th 2017

I care for patients brought to me unconscious several times a day. In a truly free-market health care system, they might have died.

Farzon A. Nahvi is correct.  
Elective treatments may remain elective and free market.
Emergency medicine is not elective.  It should be paid for by
the common funds.  There are conditions that are not elective and not emergencies.  they should be paid for out of the same funds. They can wait on the convenience of the medical establishment.  Cash can shorten the wait.
