Caring About The Affordable Care Act

I think the one think one thing some of the Affordable Care Act naysayers are missing is the caring part. I mean I will be damned if I whine about my health care cost when there are people out there who do not have the luxury to whine about having any health care.  On today's show that is exactly what I am talking about.
I actually care about those who do not have health care.  I think it makes a more cohesive nation and I think in the long run it will reduce cost.  But, there are some out there that think the disadvantaged deserves to be healthy.  What do you think? 

When Should You Fire Your Doctor?

This is a good video about the services you receive from your Doctor and his staff.  Although, I personally have never had this problem.  But, my mother has had this problem recently as she goes through her health battle.  There are times when I feel I should step in. But, there are other times when I feel it will make a poor situation worse.  Don't get me wrong.  I would never allow anyone to give my mother health care that is not in her best interest.  I am torn.  What do you do? Have you ever had to fire your doctor? or has your doctor fired you?

I'm going to be a Quitter

I have decided to become a quitter.  I know this sounds weird to all of you but it's actually a good thing.  I have been a smoker for a little over 10 years.  I can remember exactly when and where it happened.  I was dating someone and he passed me a cigarette on our way home from Louisville, KY to calm me down after a very heated discussion.  And a few drags later I was hooked.  I do remember hating cigarette smoke and smokers for a very long time because of a family member's use.  But, now I was who I didn't want to become.  Well at the end of last year while I was choosing my health benefits for 2010, I noticed the smoker rates had risen quite steeply.  I, also, noticed that there was  a new cessation program available that if you joined you could pay non-smoker rates.  NO BRAINER!!  The program consisted of free patches and counseling.  I order my patches and they have been siting on my desk for about a month.  I just wasn't ready. But, I think I am now.  So, tomorrow April 19, 2010 will be the first day I will be using the patches.  I smoked my last cigarette about six hours ago.  I am ready.  So with a lot of determination and willpower I will beat this addiction that has had me for over a decade.
