Avatar m tn http://www.ncpa.org/pub/ba649 So my brother in law sends me some canned crap about health care. Him being a senior citizen, the future of health care means a lot to him. Since he can't make heads or tails out of Universal Health Care, he's taken to trying to find everything he can regarding universal health care. The email he sent me had statistics on hip replacement, cancer survival, cancer treatments and how many MRI machines per 1000 people in each country.
Avatar m tn I saw an article in a medical magazine in a hospital waiting room that said that the sperm are a bigger factor in health of a baby than previously realized. Smoking, drinking, poor sleep, poor diet, high stress, and toxins all take a toll on sperm, weakening them. I think it's a great question and worth researching.
220090 tn?1379167187 You are a man after my heart. Why is the US so behind in health care? Why can't we get universal health care? I guess it is the profit issue. I found it interesting that Switzerland solved the issue by making it illegal to make a profit on basic health care.

Avatar m tn Each cigarette contains about 10 milligrams of nicotine. Nicotine is what keeps people smoking despite its harmful effects. Because the smoker inhales only some of the smoke from a cigarette and not all of each puff is absorbed in the lungs, a smoker gets about 1 to 2 milligrams of the drug from each cigarette. A drop of pure nicotine would kill a person-in fact, nicotine can be used as a pesticide on crops.
Avatar n tn TO have quit smoking is great for ur health, but it may have cause other issues...and acid reflux can be the result of smoking. Please get under a drs care to help u with this transition. The issues r not due to quiting, more from smoking itself and may have been masked by smoking. Please see the Health Pages for tips on lifestyle changes and diet to aid in calming these symptoms.
Avatar f tn He was warning against legislation that would guarantee health care for older Americans — the program now known as Medicare. Conservative Republicans still hate Medicare, and would kill it if they could — in fact, they tried to gut it during the Clinton years (that’s what the 1995 shutdown of the government was all about). But so far they haven’t been able to pull that off.So John McCain wants to destroy the health insurance of nonelderly Americans instead.
Avatar m tn You should quit smoking as much as possible. And part of that change and discipline go for health insurance because I'm pretty sure you'll be needing it soon. So if I we're you, I will rush for it now. Healthy insurance is a bit costly. but hey, health is wealth. You should not take risk about your health before anything else. You can pay your health insurance premium with an installment loan.

264121 tn?1313029456 I was just wondering if anyone else has had the experience of health care providers who have some personal experience with hcv that they talk about. With only a couple of exceptions, everyone in the medical field who cared for me through diagnosis and treatment was exceptionally kind to me. And I had a few who told me about their own hcv experiences. I had one doctor with a best friend who achieved SVR on monotherapy.
