Amid so many bad news around the world (I can only look at my country although I could also name others) we had here a very good one in mine.
Along the years, in my country, health insurance companies had limited health insurance to people with Down syndrome. The parents of a boy that had been rejected took their plea to the Supreme and from now on, in my country, there are certain conditions that will not be called preexisting ailments. One of them is Down syndrome and another is clef palate.
That made my day. And last week, for the first time here, the Court acepted that a lesbian couple adopted a child looking at "the well being" of the child.
So not everything is terrible. And while it is true that we are in a terrible moment, I feel that things will eventually get better.
A very wonderful Father´s Day for every one. And a memory for every one of those lotters who had an awesome father in ther lives as I had the fortune of having.

There are several conditions that babies are born with. After this fight here, babies born with cardiological problems have now the right to receive insurance here because it is a condition and not an illness that was not told to the insurance company in due time. There is a foundation here that takes care of children with cleft palate, but they say that if the family goes to a common hospital and get the usual insurance, it costs a lot of money. Now that will be less expensive.

important judgements passed by your country's supreme court. Every country should take similar steps.

I was very happy. We need these changes more than the needs to fight the COVID-19. I am sure than if on my country we did not have so much poverty, the corona virus would have been less. Because, in winter, poverty means being cold. And with a pandemia, it means hunger..
