Health, Money and Fear

Posted by admin on August 9th, 2010 and filed under health | 22 Comments »

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

Posted by admin on July 7th, 2010 and filed under health and nutrition | No Comments »

“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

Posted by admin on July 7th, 2010 and filed under health education | 25 Comments »

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.
