There seems to be concern that provisions in the proposed health care bills in Congress and promoted by President Obama will result in government /state control of our parenting and grandparenting.  Are we ready for government agents to come into our home and “advise” us on our children and child rearing practices?
Chuck Norris has researched this portion of the proposed bills and has written about some of the highlights.  Yes, this is the actor Chuck Norris who played Walker, Texas Ranger.  However, he and his wife Gena are very active with the nonprofit Kick Start program in public schools in Texas, to help youngsters  build …read more

I’m so excited to give away 5 bottles of Natures Inventory Oils.

When I had a health issue I used to go to my doctor first.

Thousands of dollars in copays later I would end up at the health food store and what they would give me would out-perform the prescriptions.

Now I’ve learned the cheapest and most effective thing to do is hit the health food store first.

I’m going to try Natures Inventory’s Allergy Relief Wellness Oil, a completely organic 100% natural oil to reduce congestion and itching eyes. Check my Sinus Wash Miracle Cure for more great uses of oils.

I have this skin condition called Melasma or Pregnancy Mask. It’s a condition that often develops during pregnancy or while taking birth control and it brings hyper-pigmentation to the skin, generally causing brown splotchiness. Some dermatologists say it’s caused by sun damage.
I wrote this cool little article on melasma last year called Can a Leopard Change Her Spots? That article has transformed into something I never expected – becoming a board where women from all over the world can share what they know about melasma with 500 comments. The ladies report on which products work to fade the melasma or …read more

Maybe you have health insurance and you think your job is pretty secure so “why fix what ain’t broken?”
That’s NOT the choice you’re facing this election. It’s the choice you wish you were facing. There’s a massive difference.
Employers want OUT. They don’t want to be in the business of benefits anymore.
They face the same health care inflation problem as you do. It’s going up and costing them too much money and they don’t want to deal with the dreaded insurance companies red tape anymore.
Currently there are regulations REQUIRING large corporations to insure their employees and their …read more

Thanks to Jody, who writes NotB4Coffee from Canada for guest posting on Blog Fabulous.

My name is Jody. My husband Mel and I live in Canada. I am an American that cannot afford to live in my own country, because I can’t afford health care. Thank goodness Mel is a duel citizen.

To cut my story short I was working in the fiber optic field on a job for the government when I fell and injured my leg. The fall was due to a direct order from a superior that I could not refuse. His words were just do it my way, time …read more

Senator Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, isn’t waiting for Election ‘08 to get the Healthy Americans Act passed.

* Every American will have it

* Comprehensive – comparable to Congress.

* Portable – take it when you leave your job.

* Non-discriminatory – ban on “pre-existing conditions” and everyone gets a fair price.

* Affordable – under $40,000 income? Pay less than now. Under $150,000 pay $1 a day more for guaranteed coverage.

The act, his site says also saves $1.48 trillion through wellness and prevention.

And he says he can make it reality in only one year.

Here’s the real cost:

Families between $40,000 and $50,000 would pay about $81/year …read more

Democracy only works if people vote in their own self-interest.

It’s a system entirely based on self-interest actually.

It’s a system based on the idea that if everyone votes for their own self-interest then in the end we’ll arrive at solutions that meet the MAJORITY’S interests.

You muck up the system if you start voting in other people’s self-interest – say your husband’s self interest or your company’s self-interest.

It’s not unselfish to decide your husband’s interest supersede yours. It’s not unselfish to decide your company’s interest supersede yours. It’s not unselfish – it’s stupid. It’s self-sabotage and and it’s self-defeating.

Take healthcare for instance, …read more
