I had just entered Mifflin, when a woman sitting on her porch waved and asked, “Are you the doctor in the newspaper?”

She stood up holding the newspaper in her hand as I answered, “Yes,” and approached the steps to her home.

She offered me water. “That’s incredible, I was just reading about you—what karma.” And we talked about healthcare. “The high deductibles in health insurance are ridiculous,” she said. “There's a lack of coverage, and you need to keep changing plans to get a decent rate.”
