Be a winner with health care reform

I've got some opinions about health care in America that I want to share. We have the best system in the world--that's why everyone comes here from all corners of the globe for care, especially for rare or difficult disorders.

Unfortunately the health care system has been taken over by the health insurance industry. I believe that the health insurance companies are making a fortune on the misfortunes of others. I am so tired of denials of coverage and huge premiums to pay for care.

I believe that the health insurance industry is the most to blame for the spiraling health care costs in this country.

My grandfather was the President of the AMA during the Nixon administration. He met the President and travelled to Russia and China. Both my parents were physicians.

I remember my father talking about how the practice of medicine was changing. In a way, he was trying to encourage me to become a physician so that I could take care of myself and my family as the changes took place. But I didn't heed his warnings.

My father was the epitome of the loved and loving doctor that everyone dreams of having today. People called him at all hours of the day and night. He spoke to them on the phone directly, eased their concerns and called in prescriptions. He went to the hospital to meet them in the emergency room if they needed to be admitted to the hospital. Can you imagine that kind of care today?

I haven't spoken to a physician on the phone to get a prescription after hours or on weekends in years . I always have to talk to a nurse. There is no doctor that I know at the emergency department if I'm to be admitted to the hospital. Even getting follow-up appointments at doctor's offices can be a trial. So my feelings about physicians and their salaries have changed a good deal. However, I don't believe that they are the true cause of the problem.

Nor is the fact that "unnecessary" tests are run on patients. I have been appalled that more tests aren't run to find out what is really going on with patients. But physicians are not allowed to do their work and choose the tests that they need to find out what is happening. Insurance companies make those decisions for them through intimidation.

So I favor any program that regulates the health insurance industry. It is LONG overdue.

Problems with Adsense but alternatives are available

Thank you Kas for the effort at clicking for me...unfortunately, adsense decided that mine was not a good blog to keep on google adsense. But that doesn't mean I've quit. I'm moving forward and have found two ideas. First is WidgetBucks which I'm using on anothe blog and I will need to get approved for this blog. Second, I've tried to affiliate with different online sellers. I'm not sure if this is going to work.

I'm learning more about this. What I really wanted to do was something on Google called AdSense. There is no kit....according to some other google AdSense users that is a scam but you can use AdSense to help make blogs and other websites more productive. I'll try to let you know more soon.

Hello. I'm trying a new way to make money online. Here's how it works in a nutshell. Google pays me between $5 and $30 for every website link that I post. No one needs to buy anything from me or Google in order to get paid.


I've been looking for a way to work from home, but everything I've found so far have been scams! So I'm signing up and I'll let you know how it goes.

There is an Easy Google Cash Kit which you can get for free.

The reason I'm trying this is because
it is associated with Google
Its easy. All I do is surf the web and post links.
Not a MLM Program
Easy to get started, I got started really quickly.

No previous experience necessary, if you managed to surf over here to my website you can do this. It's not technical at all.
You can start right now, as soon as you get your Easy Google Cash Kit.

Why am I telling you about this?

It seems really simple and I hope it works for me and if it does you will learn about it and we will all be winners in this economy.
