Would you rather have universal health care, or a lifetime supply of Mountain Dew?

Including code red, voltage, Baja Blast, and LiveWire.

Mountain Dew is the best soda ever made.

Could I trade it for Coke, or cash? Even without that, I would take TAB over universal health care.

Who do I contact to receive assistance with my diabetic supplies?

In late april I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I am required to check my glucose levels 5 times daily and take shots of insulin at the same time. The insurance i have only covers 10% - 15% of my supplies and with the cost being about $250 a month it is not possible for me to afford. I am 22 years of age and have a steady job but only bring home about $1100 a month. I am afraid that I will not be able to provide for my son and purchase these supplies at the same time. I contacted my county health department and was told I make too much money. Does anyone know where or how I can get assistance or even supplies at no cost? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Ooo, ooo, I know! I'm glad I saw this post. Please call Edgepark Sugerical @ 1-800-321-0591. You can also find them at www.edgepark.com. I was having a heck of a time with my insurance company covering supplies and when I heard about this company (from a diabetic wesite message board) I thought I would give it a try. I called and just gave them my insurance information and they said not to worry about it they would handle everything. A week later I got 3 months supply of lancets, strips and even control solution…with NO DEDUCTABLE, not even shipping cost. This place as been a blessing to me. Maybe they can help you too.
Good luck!

Am I eligible for pregnancy emergency medicaid eventhogh I have valid health insurance?

I am in the last month of my pregnancy. My status is a legal nonimmigrant alien, my husband just got job, although it pays very small it gives health insurance for the family with $200 copay for labor/birth.

We think that we need to have support for post natal supplies and needs for the baby. Do you think we can still receive and uses emergency medicaid for labor/birth with 1 year postnatal support?

Your oppinion, info and experience are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try WIC. Also speak to the hospital where you are having the baby many hospital have a payment plan. Otherwise they will expect the money before you go into hospital. When I had go into hospital to deliver I had to go in about week before my due date and pay the copay in full which for me was $250.

If you didn't have insurance you would have to pay $8,000 for a natural birth and $15,000+ for a c-section. So when you look at that $200 is nothing!

Also look at getting a health care 'visa ' card. (for health care/prescription only) This is where your husband employers would take out a set agreed amount out of his wages each month (tax free) so it will help pay for large expenses like this.

With regard to diapers and milk sign up on line for most of these companies will send you free samples and tons of coupons.

For clothes try second hand store, in my area they have 'Once upon a child'. Or clearance in large stores.

Health check/wellness visit at the doctor is covered by the insurance, I do not have to pay for any wellness visits for my child.

What are the major causes of the rise in health care costs?

What are the major causes of the rise in health care costs?
Are these causes related to supply, demand, neither, or both?

1 cause of rising health care costs: malpractice insurance. Lawyers are suing doctors so much that doctors have to pay more to insure themselves, and they pass those costs onto consumers.

#2 cause of rising health care costs: government mandates that Medicare only reimburses doctors for less than they reimburse private insurances. So, doctors are forced to pass those costs onto the consumers.

#3 cause of rising health care costs: illegal immigrants and people who choose not to get insurance (not the poor, because the poor get Medicaid/SCHIP/Medicare) utilize the emergency room for all their regular care. Since they do not pay for it, doctors are forced to pass those costs onto the consumers.

These three causes alone explain 99% of the problem.

They are all related to government control over a market-based system. So, it is a price control, technically. Price controls reduce supply and increase demand.

Why is no one talking about the supply of doctors in the health care reform debate?!?

If the point of health care reform is to:

1) reduce the rise in health care costs
2) extend coverage to the currently uninsured
3) increase overall life expectancy

all we need to do is train more doctors. This is simple supply and demand economics, right? What am I missing here?!

And isn't it true that the AMA currently artifically limits the number of drs coming out of med school each year? Isn't that the heart of the problem?

Reducing cost is literally impossible. The purpose of the Democrats' bill is to artificially restrict PRICE thus ensuring a 100% guarantee of shortages.
It adds almost NO ONE to the ranks of the insured.
Given the above, it is absolutely guaranteed to kill-off people most needing care.
All we need to do is repeal the controls Democrats have written over many decades now, all of which were PREDICTED (thus intended?) to cause the problems we face today.
The AMA supports limitations but is powerless to enforce them. You've actually pointed out another way GOVERNMENT is causing the problems.

Electrical supply systems related to health and safety issues.?

In the case of electricity supplies, consider the factors (cables of sufficient capacity, prevention of excessive currents, protection from shock, prevention of fire and means of isolation) that must be taken into account and the way in which the components (fuses, mains switch, circuit breakers, earth connection) and wiring systems address these factors.

Thanks for your help.

You need a lesson plan for 12 hours lecture to answer your question.

Insomnia: The Secret To Sleeping Soundly

There are several reasons why people have a difficult time staying asleep. The good news is that common problems with sleep or insomnia are often easily addressed without the use of medication - there are no guaranteed natural cures for insomnia, but there are effective steps you can take. Ask yourself these questions and try the simple sleep aid recommendations if you find yourself waking frequently in the night.
  • Are you physically uncomfortable? A too soft or too firm mattress, an uncomfortable pillow, or an older, worn-out bed can all impede a good night's sleep. Check your mattress for signs of wear at least twice a year, and consider new pillows. You may also want to see an osteopathic physician who specializes in osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT). A session or two of this safe and effective sleep aid relief can be life-changing.
  • Is your bedroom noisy? Consider a "white noise" generator, an inexpensive but effective device for making soothing sounds to mask jangling ones.
  • Is your mind overactive? If you cannot sleep because of thoughts whirling through your head, try the relaxing breath, it can help you put aside the thoughts that are keeping you awake. A few stretches can help with sleep aid, too.
  • Are you frequently getting up to urinate and then not able to get back to sleep? Eliminate caffeine and alcohol, especially before bedtime for both can increase nighttime urination and increase sleep disturbances.

Wonderful Health Tips
