		<description>The health care reform debate in the United States has reached a stage where legislation is now before the U.S. Congress. The main elements of the legislation focus on coverage, cost reduction and insurance reform. The U.S. has the highest healthcare costs relative to the size of the economy (GDP) in the world, with an estimated 30 million citizens (approximately 10% of the population) without insurance coverage. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the major bills under consideration would be deficit-neutral in the first decade after implementation and lower deficits thereafter, via both tax increases and reductions in future healthcare spending.

Various legislative proposals under serious consideration propose fining larger employers who do not provide a minimum standard of health care insurance and mandating that people buy health insurance. The legislation also taxes certain very high payout insurance policies (so-called &quot;Cadillac policies&quot;) to help finance subsidies for poorer citizens. Certain proposals include a choice of a not-for-profit insurer modeled on Medicare (sometimes called the &quot;government option&quot;). Democratic legislators have largely supported the proposed reform efforts, while Republicans have criticized the government option or expanded regulation of healthcare.

		<description>Ever since Obama first brought it up in his campaign, I started asking: How can our government reform something they can&#039;t (or won&#039;t) even define?  It has been glaringly apparent to me that, in order to reform our health care system, we must first DEFINE health.  Yet, because of corporate influences (the ONLY effective influences on legislation), &quot;health&quot; will never be honestly and accurately defined.  To do so would cause Big Pharma, Big Agra, and the health insurance industries to scuttle like cockroaches into the nearest dark corners.  

The current behavior of our legislators is beyond shameful as they sell out not only themselves but their loved ones and future generations for the here-and-now sparkling gold from corporate lobbyists. 

Sadly, promoting healthier lifestyles does not produce financial profit for these industries.  If it were otherwise, you can be sure that they would be sponsoring healthy lifestyle awareness.</description>

		<description>You totally nailed this article.  I wish you were in charge of health care reform.  We need to completely change the incentives in health care and steer the country more towards preventive medicine.  

I&#039;m trying to be more proactive by eating more fruits and vegetables.  I&#039;m also taking high quality nutritional supplements which have made a huge difference.  They&#039;ve decreased my sugar cravings and increased my energy.  I also try to stick to a low glycemic diet which helps a lot too.

Thanks for the info and keep posting more!</description>

		<description>Hi Dr G,
You hit the nail on the head once again. The public needs to break the chains of the sick care industry and stop being slaves to corporations...I was happy to see you address the news media and the negative and harmful effect it has on society as a whole.</description>

		<description>Our great president Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004, but he said something that still resonates today. 

Reagan said: &quot;One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.” 

This health care reform has nothing to do with health care!</description>

		<description>Dr. Group... can you please write something on storable food.  I think we all need to start growing and storing food.  But I would greatly appreciate a piece from you specifically on the subject of storing food and some companies you like or ideas you have for doing it.  We&#039;re in big trouble.. people are going to be starving to death soon.</description>
