Health, Money and Fear
Produced by an emergency physician (Paul Hochfeld), “Health, Money and Fear” answers three questions about our broken health care non-system. Why does is cost so much? What does it say about us? What can we do about it? While Congress is more focused on the symptom, lack of Universal Coverage, they are ignoring the underlying problem. COST. Unless they address the perverse incentives that drive up cost, the “reform” we are going to get will be more government subsidies so the insurance industry can continue to thrive being central to a dysfunctional health care system that is better at producing profits than health. The elements of the solution must address the elements of the problem: technology, the fear of liability, mass marketing of prescription drugs, the profit motive, chaos in medical records, unrealistic expectatiions, and the multitude of insurance companies that add substantially to cost without contributing anything to health.

Lyrics:
Shawtayee, as you can clearly see
I spent my cash tryna fix my knee
Sold my car and both my kidneys
How am I supposed to live if my fridge is out of cheese?
No on in America should go broke because they get sick
Real talk, gotta save cash money
Let’s take that money
And we’ll all be sittin pretty
Let’s put it in the kitty
Yeah, we’re gonna make it right
Kill your granny and save your life
Next question
Ooh! Thanks for callin in me
I never thought I’d be on national TV
But why you gotta change the way things work
When Jesus Christ said we’re the best country in the universe?
We’re paying $6,000 more than any other advanced country
And we’re not healthier
Says here you’re all fatties
We’re not healthier
Cut down on the beef patties
Refrain
If you were floating through space
And you could only say one thing
Tell me what would you say?
Shawtay, what would you say?
There is a moment in the life of every generation
When that spirit of hopefulness has to come through
Let’s work together, it’s time to rock
Neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block
County by county, state by state
We decide in our guts when we are determined
Refrain
God bless America!

Texas Health News: Nutrition Tips
“Proper nutrition is key to good energy levels, to helping you recover well after exercise, to helping you feel good,” says Amy Goodson, a registered dietitian at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth. “Vitamins and minerals are what run metabolism, carbohydrates, proteins and fats are your body’s sources of fuel, so without that energy, you’re going to feel pretty bad and you’re not going to feel to the level that you could.”
According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, that more than 67 percent of Americans are either obese or overweight? Eating nutrient-rich foods can lead to a healthy weight and decreased risk of disease.

National Health Care
The system is broken. The only people who want it to stay the same are those who continue to benefit from it.
Do you benefit from America’s broken system or do you suffer from it? That is the first question you must ask yourself.
I support the idea of national health care.

Understand the benefits of Wellness Programs
BIO:
Randy Philip is a principal consultant at the Washington Insurance Consulting Group.
TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Randy Philip, Principal Consultant with the Washington Insurance Consulting Group located in Alexandria, Virginia. I and my partners have over 70 years of combined experience working with small employers and medium employers, working employee benefits.
Today we’re going to be talking about wellness programs, and are they more than just a perk? What are wellness programs? Wellness programs encompass a number of things—a number of things to engage your employees, a number of things to make the employees feel that the employer is interested in them. Examples of that might be gym memberships, or where some employers might even have gyms inside the organization. A lunchtime workout—where the employer would bring in someone who could do yoga, someone who might do aerobics. Other examples are heart monitors—where an employer might motivate the employee or stimulate the employee by engaging them to wear a heart monitor or wear a pedometer so that their activities can be tracked.
Another part of the wellness package is where employers do health screenings. An employer might bring in a nurse or a nurse practitioner to come in to do cholesterol checking, to do high blood pressure checking, to check for diabetes, to do flu shots. What employers realize is that the more they engage their employees and their families and the more they can get ahead of some of those medical concerns—diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol—and get ahead of that ball, the better off it is for the employee and the employer.
Another benefit to wellness programs are to motivate employees to stop smoking. That could be where they bring in smoking coaches or where they actually even pass out the smoking nicotine patch.
Some advantages of wellness programs: It reduces the employees being absent from work. The other thing about this engagement of employees—this allows the employer to recognize employees for things other than work. It’s great to say, “Hey John, you’re doing a good job at your job,” but it’s also a wonderful to be able to tell John, “You’re doing a great job at representing your team in being active and doing the things that you can do for yourself and for your team to be active.”
For every dollar that an employer invests in a wellness program, it reduces the overall health care cost by $3.27. So there are some direct correlations; not immediately, but over the long period, there are some direct correlations to when employer invests a dollar, the payback in the overall cost—not just the premium that the employer is paying for health insurance, but just the overall employee cost.
The other benefit is that it increases the workers’ morale—employees that feel that the employer is invested in them as an employee.
This has been Randy Philip, Principal Consultant with the Washington Insurance Consulting Group located in Alexandria, Virginia for business.com. Please remember the following points.
