<p><strong>Health, Fitness and Confidence</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are trying to lose weight and have been doing so repeatedly for years and years, just yo-yoing from losing to gaining again just as fast, I have the answer!!</strong></p>
<p>The problem is probably due to the fact that your goal  of losing weight, living a healthier life style ,doing more exercise was <strong>not specific enough</strong> or <strong>powerful enough</strong> to make your brain wake up and stop those old patterns of behaviour and replace them with something that is going to give you what you want.</p>
<p>If we <strong>specifically know</strong> that we want to be a size 12, weigh 10 stone and be able to fit into that black dress, and also envisage the benefits of being all that. i.e. looking great, feeling full of energy, feeling proud that we are in charge and not the biscuit tin!! &#8211; this becomes incredibly powerful and attractive for our brains to want and to move towards.</p>
<p>We have to know what we want very specifically.” I want to be thinner, fitter, etc” does not work.</p>
<p> 
<p>If you said “I want to be richer! And I gave you £1, technically you would be, but it would not make any long lasting changes in your life and I doubt that you would see any benefits of that money!</p>
<p> 
<p>However, if you said “I want to earn £30,000/year, you have something very specific to aim at. To look for, to work towards. From that amount you will also see the need for a rigid plan that will help you on the road to earning your £30,000.</p>
<p><strong>Can you see the difference?</strong></p>
<p>Let’s try it with eating healthily and exercising………</p>
<p> 
<p>If we think of this in terms of a “<strong>what?</strong>” and “<strong>why?</strong>” thing, the “what” is what do we want, vividly, in detail…</p>
<p> 
<p>Try closing your eyes and seeing your desired “what” happening in front of you, as if you are a film star. What is going on?</p>
<p> 
<p>Have a look around and see what you look like, what are the sounds around you? Can you hear laughter and all the admiring comments from everyone as they see how good you look?</p>
<p>What can you feel in your body, the pleasing fit of your clothes, rather than bursting out of them as usual! The joy of pleasurably exercising and the fun you have. Imagine the delicious food which nurtures and feeds your precious body, and how you enjoy the benefits of this food as you eat in a controlled and responsible way.</p>
<p> 
<p>You are solely thinking of the great benefits of changing your life style, the “what” and how I will like it!</p>
<p>Next we need to really examine “Why?” <strong>must </strong>we change, maybe our eating habits mean that we are totally out of control and that our health is at risk in a big way ie.diabetes and a host of other problems due to over eating and under exercising.</p>
<p>We need to look in to the future, 5years, 10 years and vividly look for the consequences of the behaviour we imagine we are continuing to have. We really, really need to feel the pain <strong>now</strong> of behaving in this way!!!!</p>
<p> 
<p>So many people go back to old habits after good intentions for this very reason-they have not looked down the road of gloom …….</p>
<p>If we own up to what we are leading to we get massive motivation to replace this old behaviour which leads to a very different place.</p>
<p> 
<p>The old habits must be shoved out of the way with compelling new habits that lead us to happiness and where we wish to be.</p>
<p> 
<p>For example, over eating and inactivity can be replaced with a passion for healthy and fantastic food and having exercise as part of your daily life.</p>
<p>This is a choice, which once you are aware that you have a choice becomes so attractive and desirable.</p>
<p><strong>So, what is the happier route?</strong></p>
<p><strong>To stay stuck in a situation which makes you unhappy? Or to do something about it, with someone to support you and keep you on the path that you have now chosen?</strong></p>

<p>When the topic of women&#8217;s health care is raised, the first disease that comes to mind is probably breast cancer. But surprisingly, that&#8217;s not the number one health care issue confronting women today. In fact, heart disease kills more women each year than all forms of cancer combined. By knowing the most significant risks in women&#8217;s health care and what you can do to combat these health care issues, women of all ages can take a proactive approach to leading healthier lives. </p>
<p>The #1 Women&#8217;s Health Care Issue: Heart Disease More than 489,000 American women lose their lives each year as a result of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. In fact, more women than men die from heart disease each year. Until recently, little research focused on women and heart disease, but the good news is that&#8217;s no longer the case. From research into the effects of hormone replacement therapy on heart health to studies of how cholesterol-lowering medications work in women, there&#8217;s an unprecedented increase in the amount of information available to women working to live with and ward off heart disease. </p>
<p>Experts at the Mayo Clinic offer simple common sense advice to women (and men) in the fight against heart disease: don&#8217;t smoke, eat a diet low in fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products, exercise at least 30 to 60 minutes a week, and maintain a healthy weight. </p>
<p>In addition, they encourage women to see their family doctor each year for a physical which includes blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. Studies indicate that there is a 46% increase in stroke risk for women for each 7.5 mm HG increase in their diastolic blood pressure, so monitoring blood pressure and controlling hypertension are vital. </p>
<p>Women who suffer migraines, are pregnant, have atrial fibrillation and those with the auto-immune disease Lupus also appear to run a greater stroke risk. Diabetes is another women&#8217;s health care issue with a direct impact on heart health. The American Heart Association notes women with diabetes have a two to six times greater risk of heart disease and heart attack and are at a significantly greater risk of suffering a stroke. All of these risk factors make an annual visit with your doctor one of the best ways women can manage and improve the health of their hearts. </p>
<p>Cancer Concerns: The Second Deadliest Health Care Issue Women Face While breast cancer is often at the top of the list of health care issues for women, several other types of cancers also pose a significant threat to women&#8217;s health. In this country, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime according to current data which means that a little more than 2 million women are currently living with breast cancer in the U.S. But melanoma, a form of skin cancer, actually kills more young women than any other cancer according to statistics provided by the Skin Cancer Foundation. In fact, melanoma is the most common form of cancer in women between the ages of 25 and 29 and its incidence has tripled in women under 40 in the last thirty years. </p>
<p>Ovarian cancer is another women&#8217;s health care concern. Usually symptomless until it is widespread, this disease is the fourth most frequent cause of death for American women. The American Cancer Society estimates 26,000 new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year. Unfortunately, there are few definitive screening tests that detect this disease, but experts advise a thorough annual gynecological exam and for women to be alert to pelvic pain and pressure, low back discomfort, mild nausea, and an increase in constipation or gas. A serum CA-125 blood test can detect certain forms of ovarian cancer, but the test is not accurate enough to be used as a routine screening tool. </p>
<p>The rate of women suffering from cervical cancer has dropped a great deal over the years, thanks in part to the increase in the number of women who get an annual Pap smear which can indicate the presence of abnormal cells on the cervix. It&#8217;s a strong argument for making sure you never skip your Pap smear. Women who have had Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs), herpes simplex virus, those with suppressed immune systems, and those who have had multiple sexual partners run a greater risk of cervical cancer. On the prevention front, a recent trial of a vaccine against cervical cancer was 100% effective in the short term at blocking the disease. </p>
<p>Psychological Well-being: A Growing Health Care Issue for Women In the field of women&#8217;s health care, psychological problems, which include eating disorders, depression, and anxiety disorders, affect millions of American women. From coping skills to medications to alternative and complementary medical approaches, there is a growing body of knowledge being brought to bear on this important health care issue. </p>
<p>More than 19 million people in the United States, the greatest percentage being women, live with anxiety disorders that disrupt their lives. The different types of disorders within this group include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias. Treatment options include talk therapy and a wide range of medications that can quell the symptoms of the condition. Many women also combine alternative approaches to treatment such as acupuncture, meditation, and diet modification with traditional forms of treatment. </p>
<p>According to the American Psychological Association, women are almost twice as likely to suffer from major depression as men. In fact, some experts in the field have called depression the most significant mental health risk for women, especially those in their childbearing and rearing years. Studies have found that married women and mothers are especially vulnerable to depression. It&#8217;s important for a woman who feels she may be suffering from depression to be carefully evaluated by a physician because the source of the depressive symptoms could be birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or thyroid disease. Treatment for depression, like most other psychological conditions, includes talk therapy and medications. Some women also find relief in alternative medicine with herbal supplements, meditation, and other complementary techniques. </p>
<p>Though many of the women who struggle with eating disorders are in their teens and twenties, these conditions also affect women at other stages in their lives. Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating are the most well-known forms of eating disorders. Statistics show that one out of every one hundred girls between the ages of 10 and 20 is anorexic, 4% of college-aged women are bulimic, and 1% of women are binge eaters. The root causes of these diseases include stress at home and at school or work, depression and anxiety, major life changes like a divorce or death, and physical and sexual abuse. Breaking out of the cycle of eating disorders requires a combined approach to this health care issue including psychological treatment, nutrition counseling, and in some cases, hospitalization. </p>
<p>A Holistic Approach to Women&#8217;s Health Care As women become more proactive about their health, many seek a holistic approach to improving their well-being and fighting disease. But coordinating information among several health care providers, keeping on top of the latest breakthroughs in health, and finding the United States&#8217; best doctors is a daunting task for any women. </p>
<p>Some are turning to private professional health care advocates, like those available at PinnacleCare, to help them achieve their goal of a whole-woman centered approach to health care issues. From compiling and electronically storing comprehensive medical records to researching treatment options and providing accelerated access to the United States&#8217; top doctors, PinnacleCare&#8217;s health advocates make a holistic approach to health care possible. </p>
<p>&quot;I passionately believe that what our PinnacleCare Members experience is the way healthcare ought to be delivered,&quot; explains John Hutchins, PinnacleCare&#8217;s Managing Director. &quot;The healthcare system has gotten so complex that most people are at a loss to find their way through it without professional guidance and objective counsel.&quot;</p>

<p>Exercise is an essential in life. Most people will certainly nod their heads to this. Exercise is not only perfect for losing weight, it is also good for keeping a reasonable body weight, for giving a boost on the metabolic rate and also for burning those unwanted excess calories. Exercise also revs up the heart and the lungs&#8217; machinery making them more efficient in doing their natural functions. </p>
<p>Aside from these, exercise also works for strengthening the bones and keeps people looking good and feeling good about themselves. Exercise also gives people the stamina to enable them to keep up with the pace of their lifestyles. Unfortunately, not many people chose to do what is good for them. Most people could not decide exactly what to do when waking up in the morning; whether to exercise or to press the snooze button one more time. </p>
<p>The following tips are very helpful in reaching and maintaining the ideal body weight. This is especially great for women since they get through a lot of things going on in their bodies and are more susceptible to osteoporosis. Not to mention that many women are under the pressure of keeping themselves beautiful. It is recommended that one or two of these tips at a time are incorporated to the work out routine.</p>
<p>Worry not that the exercise routine is not enough. It is important to keep the commitments one makes. Ideally, it is advised to exercise three to five times a week for 20-60 minutes. However, this is not exactly the case in the real world. One should not frustrate herself by aiming for the ideal when she knows for herself that it is utterly impossible. If she an manage it two times a week for twenty minutes per session, that will do just great.</p>
<p>It is best to focus on doing what one knows she can do than to reproach herself for having not done enough. She can start from this point and then progress on afterwards. This should make her feel successful for having kept her commitment to herself.</p>
<p>Weight lifting should always come first. Many women always do cardio exercises first before weight lifting. A disadvantage of this is that it is possible to miss a critical component of the routine and spend all of it on cardio training. A women may notice this by not being able to see results even after devoting long hours at the gym. This can be avoided by reversing the order. This will guarantee visible positive outcome. </p>
<p>Remember to monitor heart rate. It is recommended to exercise at 75-85% of the maximum heart rate. Many people stick with just pumping up only 50% of their maximum heart rate. To ensure that one is working out at the prescribed target heart rate, she should use a heart rate monitor or any exercise equipment with this feature.</p>
<p>Work out for only an hour or less. Doing this will keep one from dreading the gym. Focusing on the exercise and the aim to be accomplished will make each work out session more and more efficient.</p>
<p>Have some sort of fitness social support. Being in a fitness community maybe the important element lacking in your training program. A social support can do amazing wonders and therefore should not be underestimated. It would be helpful to work out in a gym once in while if one customarily does her work outs at home. One can also try classes in activities that have always been interesting such as yoga, pilates or sailing perhaps. One can also join clubs such as a walking club or a running club for instance.</p>
<p>Pep talk yourself. One should not pressure herself too much; rather, it is best to congratulate one&#8217;s self and give out words of encouragement in between exercises. One should never forget to say some positive feedback for herself.</p>

<p>Bipolar disorder goes by many names: manic depression, manic-depressive disorder, manic-depressive illness, bipolar mood disorder, and bipolar affective disorder are medical terms for the same condition.</p>
<p>Bipolar disorder affects both men and women. For many people, the first symptoms show up in their early twenties. However, research has shown that the first episode of bipolar disorder is occurring earlier: It often shows up in adolescence, and even children can have the disorder.</p>
<p>Recent research suggests that kids and teens with bipolar disorder don&#8217;t always have the same behavioural patterns that adults with bipolar disorder do. For example, kids who have bipolar disorder may experience particularly rapid mood changes and may have some of the other mood-related symptoms listed below, such as irritability and high levels of anxiety. But they may not show other symptoms that are more commonly seen in adults.</p>
<p>Because brain function is involved, the ways people with bipolar disorder think, act, and feel are all affected. This can make it especially difficult for other people to understand their condition. It can be incredibly frustrating if other people act as though someone with bipolar disorder should just &#8220;snap out of it,&#8221; as if a person who is sick can become well simply by wanting to. Bipolar disorder isn&#8217;t a sign of weakness or a character flaw; it&#8217;s a serious medical condition that requires treatment, just like any other condition.</p>
<p>A person with bipolar disorder experiences alternating “highs” and “lows”. Both the manic and depressive periods can be brief, from just a few hours to a few days, or longer, lasting up to several weeks or even months. The periods of mania and depression range from person to person — many people may only experience very brief periods of these intense moods, and may not even be aware that they have bipolar disorder. </p>
<p>A manic episode is characterized by extreme happiness, hyperactivity, little need for sleep and racing thoughts, which may lead to rapid speech. A depressive episode is characterized by extreme sadness, a lack of energy or interest in things, an inability to enjoy normally pleasurable activities and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. On average, someone with bipolar disorder may have up to three years of normal mood between episodes of mania or depression.</p>
<p>Bipolar disorder is recurrent, meaning that more than 90% of the individuals who have a single manic episode will go on to experience future episodes. Roughly 70% of manic episodes in bipolar disorder occur immediately before or after a depressive episode. Treatment seeks to reduce the feelings of mania and depression associated with the disorder, and restore balance to the person’s mood.</p>
<p>With treatment, the outlook for bipolar disorder is favourable. Most people respond to a medication and or combination of medications. Approximately 50 percent of people will respond to lithium alone. An additional 20 to 30 percent will respond to another medication or combination of medications. Ten to 20 percent will have chronic (unresolved) mood symptoms despite treatment. Approximately 10 percent of bipolar patients will be very difficult to treat and have frequent episodes with little response to treatment. On average, a person is free of symptoms for about five years between the first and second episodes. As time goes on, the interval between episodes may shorten, especially in cases in which treatment is discontinued too soon. It is estimated that a person with bipolar disorder will have an average of eight to nine mood episodes during his or her lifetime. </p>
<p>However, one thing to be kept in mind is that there should be support from family and friends so that the affected person may feel more optimistic and secure.

<p>It seems to be a little disgusting when you are detoxing or cleansing. Your body shows some signs that you have built up toxins. These toxins can affect your whole body fitness and health. </p>
<p> There are times that you feel sluggish and feel the stressful. Your body may experience continuous aching, diarrhea, constipation, and feeling of clumsiness. Rapid weight gain and the incapacity to lose the excess weight can also be signs of having toxins in the body. </p>
<p> Moreover, the toxins found in the body are found and stored on your fat cells. For Americans who are taking the usual American diet, a person may consume 70 trillion garbage cans for each cell. In detoxing your body and cleaning that unwanted garbage in your cells, you should pay attention on your elimination organs. </p>
<p> There are particular organs in your body that deal on cell waste management. These organs play a major role in the detoxing process for a fit and healthy body. </p>
<p> 1.	Your liver is the organ that recycles the unwanted chemicals in the body. It sorts out the toxins and places them to the organ for elimination during the process of circulation. The principal elimination organs will back up the liver on where these toxins will be stored and then eliminated.</p>
<p> 2.	The lymph glands also play an important role in eliminating the toxins. A network of tubing brings out the excess waste of the cells from the body and to the final eliminating organs. The appendix, thymus, tonsil, and spleens are major lymphatic glands that help the major organs of the body in cleansing and detoxing. </p>
<p> 3.	The kidneys help in the water management of the body. They are the ones that keep the good chemistry of the blood alkaline by eliminating the dissolved acid waste. You can help your kidney to function very well by drinking plenty of water. It is much better if you drink fresh alkaline juices and purified water. You may take ½ ounce of alkaline everyday to see positive results on your body weight. </p>
<p> 4.	The lungs are the organs that keep the blood air purified. They allow the oxygen to go directly to the bloodstream. It is also responsible in removing waste gases that are found in every cell of the body. Deep breathing and fresh air is very helpful in keeping the lungs healthy and free from toxins. If you are in the urban area, it is recommended that you find an oxygen rich area where you can perform deep breathing. </p>
<p> 5.	The colon is a solid waste management organ in your body. Medical practitioners have found many peolpe that may have an 80-pound mucus and rubber like solid waste that are found on the walls of the colon. Detoxing and cleaning the colon can be a real tough thing to do. However, having a free waste colon can certainly provide you good benefits of having a clean and healthy body. </p>
<p> If you are experiencing some signs of detoxification, you may try doing a regular walking exercise. Exercise is a good key in having a fit and healthy body. Many diet doctors also suggest that you drink plenty of lemon water. This is an effective way of maintaining a very good circulation and can increase the rate of detoxification inside the body. </p>

<p>Women who are constantly on-the-go sometimes do not have time to workout. Many women just want a few things they can do quickly to lose fat. There are a variety of fat loss tips but many of them are geared towards men.</p>
<p>As you know women are built different then men and have different bodies and body chemistry. Because of this it is important for them to have a way to lose weight that will take these things into consideration.</p>
<p>Because of this we decided to find the best of the quick fat loss ideas from several different sites. Here are the tips we came up with:</p>
<p>1. Cardio training &#8212; Interval Cardio training works a lot better than regularly boring cardio. The reason is that you can trigger your body&#8217;s metabolism work for you instead of against you. With the slower cardio your body gets used to the exercise after awhile and if you do not change the way you exercise the body will no longer respond. Instead interval Cardio combined with free weights will make sure that have the rapid fat loss you are seeking.</p>
<p>2. Eat more daily fiber &#8212; when you think of fiber you might think of older women but the truth is that everyone needs fiber. You can get it simply by eating more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis and looking at the foods that are low on the Glycemic Index. Adding more seeds and nuts to your diet will also help you have the rapid fat loss you are after.</p>
<p>3. Stop drinking soda &#8211; many women have convinced themselves that diet soda is helping them lose weight. However, there are studies that have been done that say that diet soda actually makes you gain weight. Diet soda can make you feel bloated and this does not promote the rapid fat loss that you are seeking.</p>
<p>4. Get in the habit of doing resistance training &#8212; most people combine resistance training 3 days a week with their cardio interval training. This is a good place to start and it also burns more calories. You will also burn fat.</p>
<p>5. Don&#8217;t skip breakfast &#8211; it is tempting to miss breakfast especially if you have to get your family off to school and your husband off to work. The tendency is either to grab something off a kid&#8217;s plate or to miss breakfast entirely. What you do when this happens is set up your body to have a sluggish metabolism for the rest of the day.</p>
<p>6. Drink plenty of water &#8212; you can decide what type of water to drink but it should be some type of filtered water, distilled or spring. Although you may have heard controversy over distilled water experts say that distilled water is really better for you because it doesn&#8217;t have the salts and the minerals in it. You can get these nutrients from food so you do not need it from water.</p>
<p>7. Get a good night&#8217;s sleep &#8212; many women do not sleep a full 6 hours and the body needs at least this amount to keep it moving. Your body burns fat when you are asleep and you are refreshed upon awakening.</p>
<p>8. Keep your stress levels low &#8212; by keeping a stress-free life for the most part you can ensure that you will get more benefit from your exercise. Low stress also promotes good cardio health, your body won&#8217;t store belly fat because it thinks it is starving and you will have a strong sense of well being. This will motivate you to do the exercise that is needed.

<br />Health includes physical and mental health. Women who aren&#8217;t mentally healthy will find it hard to raise kids in a good atmosphere. These kids might face abuse from their mentally ill mothers and hence increase the chances of growing up into abusers themselves, thus affecting the community/society.</p>

<p>&#8220;Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve&#8221; &#8211; W. Clement Stone</p>
<p>Like any learned skill, there are certain basics that must be mastered first. The very bedrock upon which all health and fitness achievement rests are thoughts. Everything man-made in the world or any action you&#8217;ve taken in the past all started with a thought. There is not one man-made object or goal that didn&#8217;t start as a thought in someone&#8217;s head that was then made into reality. Your toaster, your TV, your automobile, your desire for better health.</p>
<p>A single thought ultimately transformed into physical reality.</p>
<p>In order to achieve any health or fitness goal you must start with this basic concept; thoughts are things. Thoughts are the foundation upon which you build the framework for attainment of your goal. Every thought has a physical manifestation in our bodies; every thought produces physical substances called neuro-transmitting enzymes that have instant effects on how we feel and who we are at the cellular level.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? Think of biting into a big, juicy lemon or think about fingernails slowly running down a chalk board and tell me you didn&#8217;t have an immediate, physical response.</p>
<p>Or how about a thought that changed the world?</p>
<p>Every day, thousands of times a day, all over the world people fly from destination to destination. It&#8217;s amazing that a person can step into a device that lifts them off the ground and flies through the air at great speed sometimes over great distances safely carrying them to their destination in a matter of minutes or hours! Only a bit over a hundred years ago that would have been considered impossible or a miracle. Yet it happens every day today and it started with a thought in someone&#8217;s head that man could fly. On December 17th, 1903 the thought that man had had for generations to fly, became reality.</p>
<p>That is the power of thoughts!</p>
<p>If you can have that kind of immediate response from such a simple thought, just imagine what you can accomplish with a focused, burning desire backed by faith and persistence!</p>
<p>Life isn&#8217;t fair or normal, there&#8217;s just life. But that should be a comforting thought. If life were fair all things would be equal and all people would be equal. The logical conclusion is that there could be no social movement up or down, no bettering of yourself nor worsening, no getting healthier, just stagnation. Because life isn&#8217;t fair it means you have the ability to control whether you improve your life or make it worse but at least you have the ability to make change.</p>
<p>What about external influences which you have no control over? Say your significant other is killed in a car accident or you become paraplegic in a skiing accident. The list could go on and on. But there is one thing you have total control over.</p>
<p>Viktor E. Frankl, a concentration camp survivor, put it best in his book &#8220;Man&#8217;s Search for Meaning,&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The one thing you can&#8217;t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one&#8217;s freedoms is to choose ones attitudes in any given circumstance.&#8221;</p>
<p>The only absolute freedom you have is choosing how you react to life. And how you choose starts with a thought.</p>
<p>Who you are right now is the sum total of what you&#8217;ve thought about up to this moment. If you&#8217;re not satisfied with who you are right now, the good news is who you will be from now on is entirely up to you. Change your thoughts and you can start changing yourself. If you want to lose weight or be more fit, it all starts with a thought.</p>

<p>Universal Health Care has been in the news lately and every political campaign usually talks about it somewhere down the line. Universal health care is getting health care for every living American no matter how poor, how rich or ethnic backgrounds. Universal Health Care is one of the few services that haven&#8217;t reached across the board of all American citizens. Universal heath care would reduce the burden that is taxing our health care system, which is right now in crisis. We don&#8217;t have enough doctors or nurses to staff our hospitals now.</p>
<p>A universal health care must meet certain requirements to work well in the United States. We must include the entire population, which would include men, women, children, and immigrants. No one should be without it. This program could be wide open to discrimination so we must make sure it runs smoothly and corruption isn&#8217;t anywhere to be found. Access to care is a must. Many times people don&#8217;t have ways to get health care. We must provide transportation to and from the medical facilities so they can receive the proper treatment.</p>
<p>When a child shows a flicker of understanding when talking about health insurance, we feel that the objective of the meaning of health insurance being spread, being achieved.</p>
<p>A benefits package for universal health care is a must. Primary and specialty care must be included in the package. If we don&#8217;t make sure we cover every aspect of health care we are doomed to fail. Most people can’t afford health care and it has become a luxury for most rather than a necessity. A lot of consumers have been priced right out of it. We need to get universal health care so these consumers can get the health care they need. Why is this important? Millions and millions of dollars are lost to workers being sick and not being able to do their jobs. Lost productivity hurts everyone involved. Fewer goods are manufactured thus increasing prices for the consumer. Health care is probably the most important subject in America today. Universal health care needs to adopted and implemented by a single source. This will save a lot of heartaches and problems.</p>
<p>Poor health causes many problems that universal health care could stop. The poor struggle to pay for housing and other needs just to make it through everyday. This can lead to mental illness and the quick depletion of their resources and becoming homeless is the natural progression. One number that people will find unbelievable is the amount of people without access to health care. Over 15 percent of Americans lack public or private health care. No universal health care puts public health at risk as untreated diseases can go unabated for years before the government can catch them. How many lives will we lose to this?</p>
<p>With insurance premiums skyrocketing one of the main reasons for this is; all the uninsured people who have to access free or low cost medical services. The only real way to recuperate the loss revenue by companies is to increase premiums to people who are now paying them. Universal health care would help control; costs and give everyone at least the opportunity to access health care. It should be a right of every American to have good health care.</p>
<p>Universal health care is something America has needed for a number of years now, so what&#8217;s keeping it from happening? Many factors contribute to this and their really are no easy answers. Let’s look at a few and see why we’re one of the few countries without universal healthcare. Being a free country having universal health care would limit the amount of money doctors, dentists could charge everyone. This would not make those in the medical community very happy to have their earning power limited. How many other industries do we limit what someone earns and you have to look what is a certain service worth that a doctor or lawyer does. Can we really tell them it&#8217;s only worth this amount?</p>
<p>Keeping to the point is very important when writing. So we have to stuck to health insurance, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.</p>
<p>Our dreams of writing a lengthy article on health insurance has finally materialized Through this article on health insurance. however, only if you acknowledge its use, will we feel gratitude for writing it!</p>
<p>We have omitted irrelevant information from this composition on health insurance as we though that unnecessary information may make the reader bored of reading the composition.</p>
<p>Universal health care has a lot of questions that probably will have to be answered before it will be universally accepted. Getting major health care providers on board is really the only way that it will work in America. I guess only time will tell if Universal health Care is what all Americans really want.</p>
