POPSI'm Getting Healthy The Hard Way One final tip: Keep your sense of humor. "Years ago, my husband and I were having a big spat, really yelling at each other," says Verstegen. "I screamed at him, 'You're so selfish!' There was this long silence and then he said, 'Did you just call me a shellfish?' I started laughing and that was the end of the fight. " *LOL*

POPSTry Living UnInsured "People take vows of poverty to learn humility. People fast to learn gratitude for abundance. People live off the grid to teach themselves -- I don't know -- candle-making skills. Living uninsured can teach our elected officials to care for the healthcare system."

POPSThe Clinton-Obama Insurance Plan This is exactly why I don't like Barack. "If you combine the economic analysis with these political realities, here’s what I think it says: If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, there is some chance — nobody knows how big — that we’ll get universal health care in the next administration. If Mr. Obama gets the nomination, it just won’t happen." I wish he'd quit trying to get elected by just touting ideas that are popular but don't work.

POPSSame-Sex Unions Coming to Cuba It appears our Communist neighbour off the coast of Florida, is pulling ahead of the U.S. on some very important social issues, including legal recognition of same-sex couples. Seems to me that the U.S. is falling behind many countries as it regards these issues. We are actually the only major military power that does not permit homosexuals to serve openly and with pride in our armed forces. When we will all just grow up?

POPSThe Feminization Of Poverty. "The rich will always help the rich. The poor will therefore have to help the poor. Reach out to the poorest wherever they are and help them to help themselves... Then you will succeed."'

POPSEmployers Help Smokers Quit I think this is a very positive thing, but is it because employers want healthier, happier, and more productive workers or is it because it affects cost? And if successful, will they share their profits with the workers who helped make them?

POPSAnother 200 Billion "This from a leader who turns federal surpluses into deficits, believes that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars can be financed on a separate set of books with borrowed money, and keeps having to go back to Congress for “emergency funding” because he cannot or will not tell the truth about what it is costing to fight these wars."

POPSVA Health Care, its really not there Take the time to listen to this radio broadcast. Some want you to think that things have gotten better at the VA. I can tell you from personnel experience, they have not.

POPSAbstinence 1, S-Chip 0 "Our teenage pregnancy and abortion rates have declined during the last decade, but research suggests this is mainly because of increased use of condoms, something young people must learn about outside of school."

POPSHealth Care Hopes? "But the G.O.P. nominee, whoever he is, won’t be trying to persuade the public of the merits of his own plan. Instead, he’ll try to scare the dwindling fraction of Americans who still have good health insurance by claiming that the Democrats will take it away."

POPSAmerica Is Shrinking Because We Eat Too Much Crap Paul Krugman's commentary should raise a red flag as to the way we are ignoring the health and wellbeing of our children by allowing them to eat fast food crap while we are overly busy working on our jobs or other endeavours. For a nation that claims to be "family first" in its priorities, we aren't really showing it in the way we ignore the nutritional needs of our offspring. I urge my followers and anyone else reading this clip to read the entire piece.

POPSUpRoar Over Surgeon General Nominee Do Holsinger's religious opinions disqualify him from being a surgeon general? Or does he have some sort of bias against gays and lesbians? Do we have the right to expect that our physicians should be professional in all aspects of our health and sexuality?

POPSHow the U.S. Can Offer Medical Care to ALL Its Citzens, Just Like Other Countries Do This is a somewhat lengthy, but extremely well written article comparing the U.S. health care system to those of Canada, Germany and France. It even explains how as much as the Republicans refuse to consider the dirty words "Socialized Medicine," the best system we have in the U.S. above all is the VHA, which is a completely socialized system. I urge anyone with an interest in this topic to read the entire piece.
