Healthcare Legislation Update

New Hampshire made great progress in working toward creating a healthier state last year by passing the Comprehensive Cancer Plan. The plan allocates $6 million for prevention and early detection programs. For example it invests in youth tobacco prevention programs and other education programs about preventing cancer. Its important to recognize that investing in prevention programs is more cost effective then waiting for a problem to arise and people needing to use their health insurance.

I have a child who is 25, college graduate, but lives at home. Work has been off and on due to his ongoing struggle with clinical depression. His medication keeps him functioning as well as he can for now. He will soon have no health insurance. His medication costs over $1200.00 if bought privately. What next?

Any "health care" initiative that does not include focusing on disease prevention, is merely welfare for huge insurance, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. We are what we eat. Leaving our "HEALTH" up to government is absurd. Books and books have been written about the connection between diet and disease. Though the biotech industries would have us all believing disease is genetic, (and we are certainly predisposed to the ravages of the mutated and weakened genes our ancestors passed down from their diets of death)we have total control over what we eat, and feed our families. With young children revealing early onset cardiovasculr disease, diabetes, obesity, and more, how could adults not make the connection that the SAD, Standard American Diet, is the culprit. Do adults desire those burgers, steaks , fried chicken and cheese so much they'd allow their own kids to get sick earlier just so they can eat like grease traps? I'm SO fed UP with the mentality of Americans who want government to fix their eating dysfunction.

Or give up your organs to the drug companies. We are the largest real time experiment in how not to nourish ones body.

Health care is such a critical issue, it is difficult for me to understand why my fellow Americans do not understand what people like Hillary Clinton are trying to do. I have live in Europe 20 years. I have poor friends and rich friends, everyone has health care. No one waits months for a doctor when they are really ill, such horror stories are not true. Perhaps some countries are better (Germany better than UK) but at least they have health care for everyone. No one is sent away from a doctor, or dies because they have no money for treatment, we need universal health care in the US, and it can work. I had a fight with my best friend, who works for an insurance agency for health care, she told me people in Europe die because they wait 5 months to see a Doctor, I told her I live in Europe 20 years and never saw that, but people die in the US because they can not afford a Doctor, who is telling the truth. Please think about these issues when you vote for our next President, Universal Health care does not mean that you can not keep private privileges if you pay for them.
