When I was a kid (NYC), we only had a few McD's. We'd eat at home, and went to a'fast food' place once every few MONTHS. Did anyone notice the HUGE number of apps, that find restaurants, bars? It's like all anyone has time to do anymore. My parents used to say these whales had 'gland problems.' Right. They refuse to see that their poor eating habits, are turning them into morbidly obese blimps. And, if they've spawned, they're installing this into their offspring. The good part is, they're killing themselves - quicker. The bad news? They don't have health insurance, and the taxpayer gets stuck with THEIR bills.  View

This is huge news for reproductive health in the U.S. Everyone deserves access to affordable (and now in many cases - free!) health care and family planning services.  View

It is a struggle for news outlets to cover these types of stories when you have a variety of studies saying a variety of things. Credibility can be an issue The realty is that health care policy will be constantly molded. America needs to fix the Health Care system which is badly broken. How we end up trying to tackle the issue will be interesting news along the way.  View

Holy crap, Obama is the only person who is looking out for the best interests of the little guy, but too bad some people are so dumb they actually consider fox news, as news...ITS PROPAGANDA!!!! The opposition controls the media and wall street, and just want in power so they can give economic and governmental power to cooperates. The elite (uber rich and powerful) are playing a game of chess, consumers/regular folk are the pawns. Politics is getting dirty, say goodbye to the American dream and hello so full integration of cooperates, say goodbye to the small businesses and hello to major corporate sectors that are only interested in money, Nobody realize that Obama is trying to save America? Through education, better health care. America would stop looking like a dirt shithole. The opposition apparently may or may not support a north American union. Mexico America and Canada, one country. I'm Canadian and I don't like that idea. I honestly don't like America, Obama is cool, but the general population is so dumbed down, you could say terrorist (point at any colored person) and they attack without question. A submissive, indoctrinated population, bent on warfare. If anyone says different, please share your opinions. I'm not American I won't belittle you for your opinions  View

No talk of the safety risks of HPV vaccines? This piece runs like a huge ad for Gardasil. The vaccine was given to young girls and killed several - Merck is now marketing the vaccine for males who are carriers only and don't contract HPV themselves. This report aids in that aim. PR companies shouldn't be writing news stories. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/CancerPreventionAndTreatment/gardasil-hpv-vaccine-faces-safety-questions/t/story?id=8356717  View

Its hard to believe the government or the media at this point with all the crap that come out of there. In simple terms what we are seeing is with a lot of people running to get Iodine supplements are just voting with their dollar that they are not believing what comes out of Washington or the main media. LOL I went to the health grocery store yesterday and I seen a couple of people asking the girl that ran their vitamin section about where their Iodine was and when they were going to get more of it, lucky for me I already plenty of Iodine at home since I take it regularly but people are not trusting their government or news sources that all is ok with what they are saying.  View

Of all the above topics, only the person claiming our government cannot do health care, has it wrong. Don't all of believing Fox News, don' you get it? From Beck to Limbaugh, and from Fox News to it's owner, good old Robert Murder, oops, I mean Murdoch, are, speaking of murdering, killing our economy. It's not the regs! Regs are good! If as a corporation you can't profit with regs, the answer and economic law, called morality, bespeak of greed, gross and outlandish inefficiencies. Think I'm throwing around misinformation? Oh really? How about looking at your itemized hospital bill next time. Then tell me with an honest face, healhcare corporations are not stealing, with legal impunity, us blind! Five days in the hospital, and the item by item cost per every item was sa skyrockety, inflationarily, and most of all, greedy to the Maximo high, stealing from us like thieves in the night. While fat cat corps get all fat and slimy and rich, money like water stuffing out of their blasted gills, ask: how many of us must go homeless, starve, and yes of course, literally die from the Mother of all Ironies here, from- A lack of ANY health care. The millionaires and billionaires need more and more, while our USS Ship Economic, sink. If we don't raise taxes infatuated cat individuals and corporations stealing from us blind, how can a Depression not be inevitable? Lastly, Do NOT allow the BushTax Cuts for the millionaires and billionaires to be extended after2012, for that will spell the future of a tragic Depression. Cmon Uber Wealthy peoples a d Uber Wealthy Corps, don't be Scrooges!!! You are literally squeezing us dry to the monied bone. Really.  View

Good lord, who pays for this stuff? I turned off my news radio permanently the day they announced that a study was done to reveal that 70 percent of parents surveyed whom have Autistic children, are concerned about the quality of their children's sex lives upon reaching maturity. Wow. 9.8 percent unemployment. 14 trillion dollar deficit. Mid range jobs disappearing along with the entry level. Riots in England. Greece on the skids, Banks receiving billions and more billions of dollars they lied about reinvesting in the economy, unaffordable health care and illegal aliens storming the boarders. I am so glad to have the future sex life of Autistic children as yet another concern. Sorry, "sarcasm...angers ugly cousin" Jack Nickelson " Anger Management"  View

Should he? I am stomping both feet and yelling,"Hell no!". And i am getting tired of getting grouped with the " americans that want it repelled." i am not one of the Americans fooled by Fox News into believing health care is a BAd thing. I am embarassed that so many americans are so easily swayed to vote against their interests. I wonder what makes some people who enjoy america's fredoms accept the travesty of the uninsured, bankruptcies of the insured that went over their cap, and the genetically ill person unable to get insurance. How in their mind, is this acceptable and why on earth would they want to repel the positive changes Obama managed to make. GOP is not happy that their sugardaddys( insurance companys) are going to have to stop robbing americans of something that is a right in most othe developed countries. Since when the money stops flowing for the big health ins. Cos.- it will no longer be lining the GOPs pockets.  View

Hmm, CitizenCane- Can you cite a source for your two OPINIONS stating Conservatives are smarter than Liberals and have more common sense? Though you are correct when you say more artists are liberals, where do you get info regarding criminals? Its funny how when so many studies find liberals more intelligent, creative and open to change- and now more likely to have better social skills - certain conservatives puff out their chest, and slam "those pesky liberals responsible for wasting money funding studies that lead to more studies that reveal how wonderful we liberals are!" Or my personal favorite," Conservatives have a higher IQ - its common sense - something else conservatives beat liberals hands down at having more of! Are you serious? Faux news much? IMHO, and using my abundant common sense - i see how a child brought up in a liberal minded family would naturally be inclined to seek answers, form ideas, and embrace , rather than shun diversity- and in response enjoy more popularity .... And maybe even a scholarships to an Ivy League college! to, maybe.... Harvard?? and able to see the value in diversity of people's race, religion , and s***** orientation- well, they'd have more friends since they make better friends and probably have lots of ideas for practical jokes to play on gullible dull conservatives!" hmmm... Lets go Think about it, CitizenCane- use a tiny bit of the common sense you espouse to have: it only makes sense that liberal parents encourage their children to question and seek answers - which reenforces their healthy attitude that ideas are something to be cherished, not repressed.them- they arent taught, like many conservatives to resist change in our society- that unless you believe in God and have faith he has the answers - you are headed for hell. My son made me proud the other day when he responded to a little girl who told him God was going tobe mad at him for saheck" with "there's no God and if there was how do you know whathes thinkingtheir thinking are open to new ideas- therefore this sparks research-which brings about ideas for not only great sculptures and novels- but also "revolutionary" ideas like providing free health care for our citizens-equal opportunity for all of us- black/white/brown/red/yellow, straight/ gay, religious/ atheist - the humanity and brain power to understand it is unacceptable to equate equal rights as special rights!  View
